Why should I use BANKproposal? |
| |
|
| |
The software was written by a team of bankers, accountants,
consultants and successful business owners to assist
entrepreneurs to get a jump start with their business.
The program was initially researched as business
owners found the financial section to be a major hurdle.
People could customize the financials but found it
difficult to create and balance all the statements.
This hurdle is now eliminated as you only require
4 inputs (sales year 1/2, industry type and initial
cash) to see solid financial projections. It is alot
easier to make a few minor changes than trying to
create everything from scratch.
Our parent company uses this software to create business
plans for companies throughout the World.

How does the program
calculate financial projections with so little information
from me? |
| |
|
| |
Since 1999, our team has researched methodologies
and industry comparisons for new businesses. From
this in depth research we found a method to create
financial projections that reflect your industry type
and sales levels.
Our proprietary calculations enabled our first tests
to overcome challenges related to statement weighting,
and proper representation of individual line items
such as cash and equity. Once the basic premise worked
it was a matter of due diligence in testing, adjusting
required input fields and verifying results with leading
business bankers, mathematicians and accounting professionals.
Through the development phase we were able to reduce
the number of required field to a mere four key factors.
This means with only a few customer specific inputs
the software will generate an income statement and
balance sheet that reflects the average company company
in an industry adjusted to meet the unique requirements
of new businesses.
Once we mastered the methodology for a balance sheet
and income statement cross functional formulas and
variables ensure that all additional statements (such
as statement of cash flow and monthly budgets) balance
even after customization.

Can I customize the
financial statements? |
| |
|
| |
Yes. There are two ways to customize your financial
statements.
First, at the start you are asked to input known
factors such as start up expenses, purchases and ongoing
costs. Any line items you leave set to 'default' settings
will automatically use our proprietary industry calculations.
Secondly, values can be customized on your financial
statements to ensure they meet your individual needs.
Your changes will reflect automatically in complimentary
fields meaning you do not have to be an expert. For
example, if you increase spending on salaries in the
second year - cash, net profit and other fields will
adjust accordingly.

I created a business
plan; now what? |
| |
|
| |
Business plans are used for internal planning, outside
investors, banks and anyone else that needs to access
your company. By far the most important reason to
create a business plan is to guide your company and
to assist through strategic planning. As an entrepreneur,
it is a good idea to review your business plan periodically.
As a large portion of the CreditSunrise team (parent
company) worked as business lenders, we have targeted
the business plan to reflect the needs of banks.
