Use of Funds

Our uses of funds are: 

Legal ………………………………………………. $10,000

Stationery etc. ……………………………….. $1,000

Insurance ………………………………………. $2,000

Rent ……………………………………………….. $4,800

Pre-Launch Marketing …………………. $5,000

Website Development …………………… $10,000

TOTAL START-UP EXPENSES ………. $32,800

 

The following summary table shows the projected start-up costs over the three months prior to the store’s opening.

• Initial insurance premiums covering both general liability and product liability

• Business renters insurance

• Rent for one month’s security and two months to allow for build-out of the retail space

• Pre-launch marketing to cover flyers

• Direct mail campaign

• Advertisements in local papers

• Website development with E-commerce capabilities to take orders and sell meats directly

• Standard legal expenses for consultation and permits.

Inventory on-hand at any given time must be low to keep all meat extremely fresh. It will be ordered on a weekly basis or more often if necessary.  Other current assets include office and store furniture, shelving, one computer, phone systems, and other tools. Long-term assets include the refrigerator unit for the shop, refrigerated display cases, window displays, store fixtures, a refrigerated delivery van, and additional investments in improvements to the retail location.

A significant amount of cash is required to fund the first year of operations until the business reaches its break-even point.

Sources of Funds

Our funds are from: 

Robert Suidae $65,000

Eryka Auroch $65,000
