Event Name: BIG - Planning for Success (Calculating Prices & Overheads / Sales Forecasting)  Posted by: Chris   Uploaded by: Make Your Mark Campaign
Event Description:
This is a full day workshop which encourages participants to consider the prices they will charge for their products/services. Explores different types of costs, direct costs/capital costs and overheads and how to determine these costs in the business plan. Participants will use part of the session to put together price lists and costs for a range of their products, estimate how much money they will need to start the business and draw up a list of overheads for their first year in business. The afternoon session will build on the work completed in the morning session and it will teach participants how to put together a “sales forecast” for their first year in business based on the costs which they have calculated in the morning session. We will also explore “break-even analysis” and will encourage participants to consider the viability of their venture from the calculations that they have carried out.
