7.1 Important Assumptions

The financial plan depends on important assumptions, most of which are illustrated in the following table.

The key underlying assumptions are:

  • We assume a slow-growth economy of five percent the first year, and three percent thereafter, without major recession.
  • We assume that we will grow as managers during the process, this growth will manifest itself as flat line expense growth over the five-year period, leading to increased annual cash flow.
  • We assume access to equity capital and financing sufficient to maintain our financial plan as shown in the tables.
  • We assume continued popularity of nightclubs in America and the growing demand for high-energy themed and casual dining venues.
