Answer by saberhilt
OK, you’re on the right track, but you have GLARING spelling and grammar problems. This reads like someone who has only been speaking English for 3-5 years.
For example:
“Design coffer shop” under the “Name”
“Design coffee shop it well began operations in November 2009, and we going to prepare the plans to undertake a small expansion.” Instead of “Design coffee shop will begin operations in November 2009, and we going to prepare the plans to undertake a small expansion.” You might even try “Design Coffee Shop will begin operations in November 2009. Plans also include undertaking a small expansion with 6-8 months of beginning operations.”
Also, what do you mean by “an assortment of other items” as part of you monthly income? Are these the cookies and donuts, or will you be selling the art as well?
You have Employee Taxes, but what about Employee payroll?
Where are you getting your start up capitol for renovations?
Do you money set aside for Rent?
Where in the country is this shop going to be? This will greatly affect your income and expenses.
