We have a free templates that includes most aspects of modern business plan financial plans.

Each and every financial plan template needs detailed overview of the investments involved. These are assets that will be amortized over a period of usually 4 years. Even the depreciation is factored in! However, all investments reduce the liquidity.

The key overview is at the core of all financial plan templates. Some variable costs are indicated here, but the most important (and most controversial) are the revenue flows. These are best determined via a revenue source chart so there is at least a rough explanation on paper of where the revenues are actually expected to come from.

Various types of costs I

Various types of costs II and interest costs (complicated formula derived from liquidity plan and interest parameters in the overview)

Show me the money: Here’s the most interesting part. We recommend the following profit and loss profile: Fiscal year 1 – Big loss. Fiscal year 2 – Break Even. 3 – Big profit. This is the most plausible scenario. If it doesn’t seem this way, simply adjust the numbers a bit until you get the right profile.

The balance is calculated automatically via a series of simple +/- formulas.

Liquidity planning sample: Also extremely important. Investors panic if the liquidity drops to less than 10-15% of the capital investment. Losing money is the only real problem for an enterprise, be it young or old, big or small! Key figures and general premises are also listed in this section.
