PROFIT AND LOSS STATEMENT
Things to keep in mind:
•	 Sometimes less is more – easier to focus on less information
•	 Make liberal use of margin analysis – i.e. % of revenue
•	 Doing so for summary Profit and Loss will bring major themes to light

FUNDING SOLUTIONS
•	 Obstacles to Fund Raising
•	 Seven Critical Things
•	 Report Card
•	 Debt or Equity
•	 Typical Sources
30Proprietary to David Rudofsky
OBSTACLES TO FUND RAISING
What holds back small and mid-sized businesses
from external fund raising?
•	 Lack of understanding of the process they need to follow
•	 Lack of internal resources to create the business plan
•	 Don’t know the funding sources
•	 Reluctance to take on debt, or sell equity “my dog ate the
term sheet”
31Proprietary to David Rudofsky
SEVEN CRITICAL THINGS
1.	Be credible – don’t exaggerate the opportunity
2.	Gain knowledge of the industry you are planning to enter
3.	Demonstrate strong justification for revenue assumption
4.	Plan a salary for yourself that makes the effort sustainable
5.	Seek expert help (as needed) for Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
6.	Focus on capital requirements – both short and long term
7.	Check your ability to withstand revenue shortfalls
32Proprietary to David Rudofsky
FUND RAISING – REPORT CARD
•	 Able to calculate the amount of funds needed to hit various milestones as well as the ability
to provide a financial return to stakeholders
•	 Awareness of what is the most likely type of funder by stage/amount
•	 Understand the implications of raising debt vs. equity and advantage/disadvantages of each
33Proprietary to David Rudofsky
CALCULATING FUNDS NEEDED
Develop model with financial projections based on the assumptions for the following:
•	 Sales, production, inventory plan
•	 Capital expenditures for automation or to increase capacity as needed
•	 Pricing and cost for each of the products/channels
•	 Promotional and marketing costs, both introductory and ongoing
•	 Staffing and other organizational costs
•	 Needed working capital investments
Projections by month for yr. 1, then annually, 3-5 years in total, and to include:
•	 Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow
•	 Sources and Uses
•	 Sensitivity Analysis
34Proprietary to David Rudofsky
DEBT VS. EQUITY CONSIDERATIONS
•	 Debt is more tax efficient, and potentially lower cost
•	 Equity investors are focused on earnings growth
•	 Debt investors more concerned about safety of principal
•	 Private companies can use equity to lure talent
•	 Selling equity can let private company owners diversify their personal wealth
