Through case studies and business planning exercises, students will learn tactics for how to set clear financial goals for the business, design and use financial statements and dashboard reports, develop revenue and expense forecasts, manage cash resources, and design effective financial exit strategies. Discussions will focus on the application of financial reporting as a foundation for financing a new or small but expanding business, as well as on balancing the need for business financing with personal entrepreneurial goals. Forms of financing to be explored include bootstrapping, crowd funding, commercial loans, government and private grants, venture capital, and using money from friends and family.
