I'm just trying to find a _real-world_ financial section of a business
plan that includes the following:

·   Brief summary statement about the proposed new business or
acquisition candidate
·   Projected startup outlays 
·   Sources of startup capital 
·   Three-year annualized income statement projections 
·   Breakeven analysis 
·   Initial and three-year thereafter balance sheet projections 
·   Loan debt service projection 
·   Forecasted cash inflows and outflows for first twelve months
·   Three-year annual cash flow projections
·   Listing of key assumptions

It doesn't have to be in any particular industry -- just something
recent, within the past few years, that actually acquired financing of
under, say, $250,000.  I can't find anything on the Web -- all I can
find are templates and "made up" abstracts for business plan software
packages.  I guess most investors don't like to share financial
information?

Thank you for your help!

Request for Question Clarification by pafalafa-ga on 13 Dec 2005 06:49 PST

There are only two sources that I know of to obtain actual business
plans from real-world businesses.

One of these is available at some libraries, and the other is
available online, after registering at the site for free.

HOWEVER, I'm not sure any of the available plans actually meet your criteria.  

The plans that are made available generally tend to be several years
old -- it's hard to find one from the past few years.

And they tend to be for laregly-envisioned companies, so that -- for
the ones that get funding at least -- the amounts are in the millions
rather than the hundreds of thousands.

Still -- you can access the online site after registering at the site
(which is free, but may take a few days before receiving your
password).  And possibly, you can access the library resource as well,
if your local library has it available.

I've excerpted a table of contents, below, from one plan that I looked
at which happens to be from the UK (I can't post the plans themselves,
since they are copyright protected).

Let me know if I should post information about the sources of business
plans as an answer to your question.

Cheers,

Clarification of Question by lavidge-ga on 13 Dec 2005 10:35 PST

I found what I was looking for on http://www.businessplanarchive.org/
-- it's a great resource.  Thanks for your help anyway.

http://www.bplans.com/samples/wsj.cfm. I looked at the Software
Publisher's plan and while not real world, it seemed to cover the
relevant details at a glance. Another area of 'real' business plans:
business plan/enterpreneur competitions held by US business schools
(Berkeley, Harvard, Stanford,etc). I don't know if the submitted plans
are published but it's something you can easily investigate.
