7.0 Financial Plan
QDAR expects to raise $250,000 of its own capital, and to borrow
$250,000 guaranteed by the SBA as a ten year loan. This provides the bulk of the
current financing required.

7.1 Break-even Analysis
QDAR's break-even analysis is based on the averages of the
first-year figures for total sales by units, and for operating expenses. These
are presented as per-unit revenue, per-unit cost, and fixed costs. These
conservative assumptions make for a more accurate estimate of real risk.

7.3 Projected Cash Flow
The cash flow projection shows that provisions for ongoing
expenses are adequate to meet QDAR's needs as the business generates cash flow
sufficient to support operations.
The short-term $55,000 loan is expected to be paid out within
one year, while a $250,000 SBA loan will be repaid in ten years.
