Business Plan and Financial Projections Model

The Application for Financing lists all required attachments including a detailed business plan and financial projections. A complete application package should establish the project’s and investor group’s general eligibility, and give OPIC the basis on which it can respond to the amount and basic terms of the requested financing. It should include:

  • a description of the project;
  • the identity, background and audited financial statements of the project’s proposed principal owners and management;
  • financial statements of each investor (audited corporate financial statements or certified personal net worth statements of individuals, using the SBA Personal Financial Statement Form
  • planned sources of supply, anticipated output and markets, distribution channels, competition, and the basis for projecting market share;
  • a summary of project costs and anticipated suppliers of capital goods and services;
  • a financial plan, including the sources and uses of funds for the project;
  • pro forma financial statements of the proposed project or corporate borrower and accompanying assumptions; and
  • a description of the contribution the business is expected to make to local economic and social development
