Balance sheet

Create a balance sheet from the information provided above:

These are the costs incurred prior to opening your business doors. You need to focus on two areas:

Start-up expenses (examples are first and last rent, prepaid, phone deposit, and training wages if you need to train before opening...

Start-up assets (furniture, shelving, equipment, inventory etc....)- for inventory, please group it into categories rather than listing out every item you need. i.e. Food inventory, beverage inventory, clothing, candles etc....

Things to consider:

Opening Balance Sheet: Assets= Liabilities + Equity

Assets: Current Assets, Capital / Fixed assets.

Liabilities: Bank Loan, Vehicle loan, mortgage (if applicable)

Equity: Must be 25% of your Total Assets

Example must look like this:
