Learning Activity 1: For your business idea, what do you think is the best route to financing? Why? What other means will you use to finance the start-up costs and business operations? Do you foresee any downsides to the options that you would like to use?

Learning Activity 2: Use at least one product or service from your business idea and do a break-even analysis. You will have to do this for your final business plan anyways, so this Learning Assignment will get you a head start (you are welcome to do a break-even analysis including ALL of your product/service offerings). In the analysis, lay out the equation for the break-even analysis and state the values (as well as any assumptions) you are using for your variables. How do you feel about this break-even number? Is it obtainable? Why or why not?
