DEVELOPING BUSINESS MODELS AND PROPOSITION

Business ModelClicca per leggere

Business Model

It’s a synthesis tool that describes the ideas,

the purpose, the gain, the costs, the activities

and the communication of the entire project.

Describes the logic with which an organization creates,

distributes and captures value.

•The key concept of each Business Model is the value offered

•The value perceived by the customer is given by the difference between benefits received and costs incurred

•Making a Business Model is like updating the computer's operating system. It is an operation we do when:

○New threats come from outside (new competitors)

○New needs arise that require different support (new possible customers)

○The system is overloaded and the operations are slow and not very fluid (reduced margins in the case of the company)

FINANCIAL PLANNING

Financial statementsClicca per leggere

Business at every stage of its development needs to express its activity in financial data which are used either for external or internal (managerial) purposes.

This financial data are contained in four financial statements from which we can obtain the raw material for further financial analysis:

1) The balance sheet

“Snapshot “of the assets used by the company and of the funds that are related to those assets. It’s a static document related to one point of time - end of months, quarters, years, etc. The balance sheet puts what the firm owns versus what it owes at any point in time.

2) The income statement (Profit and loss account/Income - expenses statement)

It measures the gains or losses from both ordinary and extra ordinary activities over period of time bounded by the two balance sheets (from the two subsequent periods).

It shows the firm´s financial position over a period of time (months, quarters, year) through the comparison between the in-resources (revenue and income) and the out-resources (costs).

3) The cash flow statement

The cash flow statement describes the actual net cash that flows into (cash inflow) and out of (cash outflow) a firm through its operation and finances

It would also show if would be any need for additional financing and which way would be possible to get them: through equity, loans, short-term line of credit and how and under which conditions they would be paid back

There are three separated components of the flow of cash and its equivalents: operating activities, investing activities, financing activities

4) The start up costs budget

This is important part for a business plan written for start-ups. It contains all of the expenses incurred to initiate the business, develop and run it

•It is important to take into consideration:

- What type of business you are? There are businesses that need smaller budget

- How much starting capital or seed money is needed to start business? Which costs are essential, and which are optional?

•The most effective way to calculate startup costs is to use a worksheet that lists both one-time and ongoing costs
