The Purpose Of This Assignment Is To Allow The Student An Opportunity

The purpose of this assignment is to allow the student an opportunity to apply their understanding of cash flow management, break-even analysis, and short-term and long-term financing in starting and growing a business. The assignment will be presented to the class giving the real-world scenario of presenting a proposal to investors. Prepare a 12- to 15-slide PowerPoint® presentation with speaker notes requesting initial funding of $500,000 to start and run a start-up company. The proposed start-up company could be an existing business model (coffee shop, pet store, etc.) or could be something entirely new and exciting. Create the presentation in the following format, with at least one slide to cover each of the following areas: Title Page, Table of Contents, Executive Summary, Information about the Industry, Marketing Plan, Competitor Analysis, 3 Year Income Statement (Profit & Loss) Projections, 3 Year Proposed Funding Schedule (Sources and Uses of Funds), Break-Even Analysis, International Expansion Scenario, Decision Tree for Funding Options, and Capital Raising Strategies, including venture capital insights. Use the company's details provided—Pure Bread, a family bakery based in California—to contextualize your financial and strategic plan. Incorporate detailed speaker notes and graphics, maintaining clarity and conciseness in slides, but providing comprehensive explanations in speaker notes. Ensure all data, assumptions, and analyses are well-supported with credible sources, including references to the OECD Database for international expansion considerations. If questions arise or additional details are needed, feel free to ask.
