Middle

I have decided to produce and open a customize car garage because there is a lack of professional fitting shops around and this would bring more a lot of profit as customers would come to me due to the number of shops around. Also it is a well profited industry as one project could bring you a lot of money and depending on quality of service and end product I may get a few projects from celebrities as there are contacts within the area. The main risk I have with this is it may not be a success, but in order to succeed I need to take risks. Although if this business is a success it would benefit hugely on customers as well as myself because customers would be satisfied of the job that has been done and I would make a reasonable profit meaning both customer and workers are happy. I will also have an opportunity to build up by expanding into a bigger area if the business goes successfully as there is an open area and buildings that could be bought or extended.

Conclusion

An example of a cash flow analysis is shown below: BREAK-EVEN ANALYSIS This legal document needs to be produced because I will need to see and understand where the business breaks-even, during a certain period of time and whether I will be making a profit or a loss whilst I am running this business. An example of a break even analysis is shown below: CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS This legal document needs to be produced in order to see the least time it takes to do a certain amount of tasks in managing the project. An example of this is shown below: PROFIT AND LOSS ANALYSIS This legal document needs to be produced in order to see whether the business is making a profit or a loss. All these documents will be checked regularly during a certain period in order to see whether I am succeeding and achieving what I had first planned before I started my own business. As in whether I have made the sales I planned to sell and whether I made more or less profit then I had predicted. ...read more.
