7.0 Financial Plan
- Consulting revenue will make up approximately 85 to 90 percent of total revenue, with the rest coming from service revenue.
- Salaries and rent are the two major expenses, while depreciation is another significant cost that will increase as the company develops. Although the purchasing of fitness, medical, and office equipment is expensive, constant replacement will be needed to minimise depreciation costs and maintain a competitive edge.
- In order to maintain steady gross margins, salaries and advertising expenses are not likely to increase within the first two years of operation, unless cash flows significantly increase.
7.1 Important Assumptions
Three assumptions for Corporate Fitness are:
- A constantly growing economy without any major recession or boom.
- No unpredictable changes in fitness, medical, or office equipment.
- No major national or global events that threaten the stability and health of the country and its citizens.
