Following on from the Dragons Den success of Levi Roots Reggae Reggae Sauce (search the internet if you are unfamiliar with this story), you have decided to make a

pitch to a small group of potential investors.

You know that any potential investor will expect you to have a good knowledge of how much your product will cost to produce and also of the expected level of sales and

profit your product is predicted to make.

2. Produce the following financial documents for the first 12 months of trading:
a. Cash Budget(month by month)15 marks
b. Forecast Income Statement(for the year)10 marks
c. Forecast Balance Sheet(for the year)10 marks

3. Write a 1,000 word pitch explaining the costing and financial data from tasks 1 and 2 above, to your potential investors. 35 marks

Main Section: The Pitch
The purpose of the main section is to sell the idea of your new product to your potential investors, to persuade them to invest in your new business.
As this is an accounting and finance module, the emphasis of the pitch must be financial. Your potential investors will want to know what return they can expect on

their investment.
As a minimum they will expect you to provide details of the following:
forecast turnover
forecast profit margin (%)
forecast value of the business
forecast cash flow
You should refer to the data and financial documents from tasks 1 & 2 and include them in the form of appendices to your report.
