During the workshop, you'll learn how to:
• Understand what a funder is really looking for when reviewing financial projections
• Define a clear funding requirement — how much is needed, what it will be used for and what it will enable the business to achieve
• Develop realistic assumptions around sales, pricing, costs, staffing, margins, payment terms and business growth
• Prepare and interpret Profit & Loss forecasts and understand what they demonstrate about future profitability
• Prepare cashflow projections and understand why profit and cash are not the same thing
• Identify working-capital requirements and potential cash pressure points
• Understand sources and uses of funding, including promoter contribution and match funding
• Stress-test projections against slower sales, higher costs, delayed payments or other changes.
• Ensure the numbers are consistent with the written application, market plans, staffing projections and proposed expenditure
• Avoid the common mistakes that can undermine the credibility of a funding application
• Understand the supporting financial information and documentation that may be required as part of an application
And the good news is that no advanced financial knowledge is required! Th
