the assignment asks me to start up a small business and I chose a nutritional education practice.

My instructions:

Develop an estimate of how much money you will require to become established in business, and state how you wouldfinance your venture. Also discuss your plans for maintaining your budget.

minimum requirements per instructor:

Budgets must contain (at a minimum)the following major categories:

1. Personnel expenses (professional, administrative, part/full time, etc.). These include benefits packages (~15% of annual salary amounts as a rule of thumb).

2. Facility expenses (building, rent/lease/ownership payments, utilities - gas/electric/water/garbage, etc.).

3. Equipment expenses (what equipment is needed, computers, technology, software, service contracts, etc.) Be as detailed as possible

4. Miscellaneous expenses (advertising/marketing, legal, travel, meals/entertainment, etc.)

If you can assist me in this it would be greatly appreciated. Just a summary of this financial plan is needed. nothing major. If you are unable to include everything, that is fine too.

Thanks!
