 DO NOT USE WIKI OR INVESTOPEDIA FOR REFERENCES

Include speaker notes

1- Remember to answer ALL of the questions/requirements for the presentation

2- DO NOT skip the additional questions 

3- The additional questions should not be in a separate document, they should be added to the PowerPoint

4- Balance the information that you put in your speaker notes and what you have on the slide

5- A picture does not explain a concept, it is a compliment to a concept

6- Avoid copying graphs or charts from the internet and pasting them in the presentation

7- Give credit whenever you use outside resources for a point…CITE CITE CITE

8- When pasting an Excel file, ensure that you can actually read it and the image is not blurry

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
  • Your assumptions for why and how you will achieve your sales growth and what significant expenses and investments you expect to incur to achieve your revenue goals
  • 3 Year Proposed Funding Schedule (sources and uses of the funds received)
  • Break-Even Analysis
  • Academic and Business References 

Review the following scenarios and assumption, and explain how it impacts your decision to expand:

  • After Year 3, the investors are interested in your company expanding internationally to possibly outsource labor or to reduce manufacturing costs. What countries would you expand to first, and why? What factors would you need to consider in making this decision?
  • What is the corporate tax rate in the countries you are considering expanding your business to, and how will that affect your decision to expand globally? (Use OECD Database or another resource to determine the corporate tax rate).
  • The investors want to see a decision tree detailing the decisions you would make if you received $300K now and $200K at the end of three years instead of $500K up front.
  • The investors would like your team to provide advantages and disadvantages of using debt financing versus selling company stock to raise capital for growth.
  • Briefly explain the venture capital process. Does it make sense for your company to raise funds through venture capital? 

Format your presentation according to APA guidelines. 

Need Statement

Grant Proposal: Item 2 – Statement of Need

In Module/Week 2, you will submit a 1-page Statement of Need as the first part of your actual Grant Proposal. Remember this item is critical. It should be a comprehensive, coherent, and concise description of the problem your organization faces and written in a way that is persuasive and encourages a Grant Maker to want to partnership with your organization to solve it.

If you chose Option 2 during Module/Week 2, you have some creative writing to do. Pick a logical need for your fictitious organization based on its Mission Statement. Dont create a monstrous, multifaceted need with a large, involved budget. If you do, it makes the other assignments of the Grant Proposal more time consuming to complete.

Finally, be sure to read the sample Need Statements in the textbooks and consider modeling your submission after one of them. There are some exceptional examples, and consider modeling your submission after one of theirs.
