We have identified a potential business opportunity so now we have to determine if it is an opportunity or not, by starting the strategic management process to build our Strategic Plan.

A clear detailed description of what the organization will look like;

Where an organization is going in time;

A plan how it is going to get there;

How it will monitor if it got there or not.

In addition, it provides the framework for the future use the company resources’ which includes the what, when, where, why, who and how (5W’s &H) of its competitors and market place.

In forecasting especially for a Financial Proforma we need a good amount of data or “Big Data” but what is also important is not only the validity of that data, i.e. where and who is the data from, but also our explanation of our reasoning/analysis of that data that lead us to our conclusions.

If you were creating a Financial Performa for a new retail business how would you explain to a potential investor as to how you arrived at your forecasted initial investment(total start-up cost) you needed assuming that investor was funding your total start-up cost?

NO cite quotes from someone else as that is their reasoning and not yours, so cited quotes will not earn credit, because entrepreneurs do the research to gather the information they need to formulate their own ideas/perspective to make their own decision, simple it is what they think so they take ownership
