We will invest £300,000 of our own capital. This will provide the start-up financing required.
Our break-even analysis is based on the average of the first-year numbers for total sales by meal served, total cost of sales, and all operating expenses. These are presented as per-unit revenue, per-unit cost, and fixed costs. We realize that this is not the same as fixed cost, but these conservative assumptions make for a better estimate of real risk.
