XII. Find in the dictionary the definitions of the synonyms with the meaning of «расход, издержки»

XIII. Read the text and divide it into some meaningful parts, giving the proper title to each of them the stages of a business

Like every business, yours can be expected to go through four stages: survivability, growth, profitability and decline. Your objective should be to achieve the first three and avoid the fourth as long as possible. Businesses need sound financing, effective marketing and adequate sales volume. The connection between them constitute your owner's equity or net worth.

You should prepare projected balance sheets for at least three years of business operation during your planning phase. Your balance sheet shows you whether your investment in your business is increasing or decreasing in value over time.

Planning is not a onetime activity. Don't prepare a business plan and follow it blindly. Reexamine your plan and update it to your experience. Where are your financial weaknesses and what can you do to improve your profit?

To start your business, you may need more money than you now have. Think, if you should save more cash before starting or borrow it from anywhere, or take a loan at a bank. Careful, detailed, thorough financial plan enables you to make sound decisions about your business and so it is the key to your financial success.
