Business planning tool
Calculate the complete funding requirement.
Build a planning figure from the main purchase, the costs around it and the cash needed before the investment reaches normal trading.
How to use it
A fuller figure makes a clearer enquiry.
Start with the asset, property, stock order, acquisition or project price. Then add delivery, installation, professional fees, opening stock and any working-capital gap. Subtract only the cash the business genuinely plans to contribute.
- Use current supplier quotations where possible.
- Include VAT only where it will form part of the cash requirement.
- Allow for delays, ramp-up and realistic contingency.
- Keep long-life assets separate from short-term trading costs in the supporting detail.
Estimated funding requirement
—Planning tool only. It does not calculate repayments, affordability, eligibility, approval or a finance offer. Include every real project cost and confirm the final requirement independently.
