Step Three: Business Plan

Financial Plan

Union Grove There are several sections making up the Financial Plan. They are presented below. Click on each link to go to that part of the Financial Plan. When the page opens, follow the instructions at the top. You will have options to save, erase and display each section. Each section may be printed once it is displayed by choosing "File" and then "Print" from your browser's menu. The version on the right is for those who have access to Microsoft Excel and are familiar with using spreadsheets. The version on the left is for those who do not have access to Microsoft Excel and are not familiar with using spreadsheets. If you need help, click here.

Note: Some of the financial forms may need to be printed in landscape orientation on your computer print option menu.

When opening the Excel spreadsheets below (Advanced Version of the Financial Plan), you may encounter a Security Warning regarding "macros". If so, perform the following three steps to avoid receiving the warning message with each file. Certain functionality within these files will not work properly if macros are disabled. Be sure to "enable" the macros.

Select "Open"
Select the checkbox for "Always trust macros from this source."
Then select "Enable Macros".
