Lesson 5: Show Me The Money!

Statement of Resource Needs

If you are using your business plan for the purpose of generating needed resources from lenders or investors, this document will summarize your precise needs (capital, terms, requirement date), and identify how the resources will be used.

In the case of financing, your cash-flow projections will, of course, reflect how these funds will be repaid. In the case of capitalization involving equity partners, your projections will give an indication of the growth of equity and the anticipated timetable for the sharing of profits.
