The categories of expense shown above are just suggestions.
Change the labels to reflect your own accounting systems
and type of business. Breakeven is a "big picture" kind of tool; we
recommend that you combine expense categories to
stay within the 22 lines that this template allows.
One of the best uses of breakeven analysis is to play with various
scenarios. For instance, if you add another person to
the payroll, how many extra sales dollars will be needed to
recover the extra salary expense? If you borrow, how much will
be needed to cover the increased principal and interest
payments? Many owners, especially retailers, like to calculate a
daily breakdown. This gives everyone a target to shoot at for the
day.
Here are some suggested topics you can tailor into your plan:

Care
One of the major problems that I have had was money. I do work
with gang members and welfare recipients, and I have private
parents. In working with gangs, sometimes it will take me three
months to receive my first check, whereas with a private parent, I
will receive money weekly or biweekly.
I started off with myself as the only employee and I now have four
employees. My family being very supportive of this business really
helped me. I also transport children to and from school. That's
where my son comes in; he's my driver.
Points To Ponder
Overlooking these details might cost you a lot of money, and you
might go out of business. We don't want that.
One last thing, when your business is doing well, consider buying
the property if it is possible. Real estate is always a good
investment. If you follow these simple steps, I'm sure you will be a
successful businessperson like me. Good luck in your business
venture.

Relevant appendices
Pay someone to put part or all of the plan together for you, or a
small investment in some business planning software.
For less than the cost of having a professional put the plan
together for you, you can produce a professional document, but
more importantly continuously update your plan for new
information. This means you’ll always have a first class plan ready
to present to banks or investors at any time.
