Additionally however, you need information on all these factors in respect of the Business Launch. Your Marketing Costs and Margins will be high at the beginning and will decrease (as a percentage of your turnover) over time. How will this effect your balance sheet? Initially your Sales and Profit Margins will be small - but should grow rapidly in the first three years and stabilise by year six. What will your Profit & Loss Account look like over the first six years?

Business Start-up questions are answered in this section. All the information in this report is re-assessed and repeated specifically in terms of your product launch. This means that you will be provided with information which will concentrate especially on the Business Launch and will give you a model or formula on which to base your business launch in the country. The information if given for the first six years of the Start-up of the business.

Therefore you will have two sets of data, firstly the data for the other (competitor) businesses in the country and secondly, the same sets of data again but specifically for the Business Launch. Thus you can plot the probable progress of your business against the data for your competitors' businesses in the country in question.

Thus this section provides the Product or Business Launch information:-

•    Market Sales achievable from Start-up to Year 6

•    Product Information from Start-up to Year 6

•    Marketing Information from Start-up to Year 6

•    Marketing Costs & Margins from Start-up to Year 6
