This is the second skill workshop of the BCS/BEN Tech Startup School (TSS) – you can see more details on the TSS, buy a 20% discounted ticket for all 6 core events and find more information on ticketing arrangements – click here: http://tss2010-financialmodelling.eventbrite.com/

‘Financial Modelling’ is an interactive workshop that teaches you how to build a spreadsheet-based financial model of your business.

The workshop will take you through the process of completing a template spreadsheet for a simple multi-year cash flow and profit projection. It will help quantify key financial variables such as burn rate, cash run-out, funding requirements and break-even point. The spreadsheet can be used to evaluate alternative business scenarios and strategies, and as a starting point for full projections to use for fund raising or budgeting.

You will get the most out of this workshop if you are able to bring a portable computer with spreadsheet software.

Refreshments are included in the ticket price for this event.

About the Tech Startup School

Tech Startup School is a unique series of 11 events to help aspiring and early-stage tech entrepreneurs start or grow their own tech businesses.

The 6 core events will help you develop your business idea into a viable outline business plan, while the 5 skills workshops build a range of relevant personal skills. At each event we will signpost relevant resources and information that you can access to learn more and get further help on that event’s topic.

You will get the greatest help in developing your business idea into a plan if you attend all, or most, of the 6 core events. However you are free to choose to attend whichever events you feel will benefit you most.

Tech Startup School is run jointly by BCS (British Computer Society) and BEN (Bath & Bristol Enterprise Network).
