Financial Management Functions in a Startup Company
1. Estimation of Capital Requirements
Explanation & Application (1.1):
Capital requirement estimation involves calculating the funds needed for operations, expansion,
and contingencies. As a startup, I would first project fixed costs (e.g., equipment, office space,
licenses) and variable costs (e.g., salaries, marketing, utilities). I would also estimate working
capital needs for the first 12–18 months.
Impact (1.2):
Accurate estimation prevents underfunding (leading to stalled operations) or overfunding
(which increases debt or idle capital). It ensures smooth startup operations and builds investor
confidence.
