You must have working capital to support on-going expenses, such as payroll, to the extent that these costs are not covered by any sales revenue generated by you. New businesses often generate a negative cash flow. We estimate that the amount given will be sufficient to cover on-going expenses for the 3 month start-up phase of the business. This is only an estimate, however, and there is no assurance that additional working capital will not be necessary during this start-up phase or after. NOTE: These figures do not include any personal living expenses; you should have additional sources for your personal living expenses. Your costs will depend on factors as: how much you follow our methods and procedures, your business management skills and experience, local economic conditions, the prevailing wage rate, competition, and the sales level during the first 3 months.
