Graphs from the Boutique Spreadsheets

Included in the How to Open a Boutique book are 25 graphs, shown below>>> . These are based on the example figures used in the spreadsheets that also accompany the book.

All these are printable directly from the book.They can be used to help produce a professional looking Business Plan. Graphs can provide a quick view of complex finances that are often easier to absorb than analyzing long columns of figures.

If you choose to use the included Excel program you will find these graphs included there too. If you alter our example figures there to best reflect your own boutique, or adjust our example Profit Margin percentage, then the graphs will immediately update.

You might choose to alter our example Profit Margin if you had a Bridal Boutique as your intended store. Or you might have a low Margin - High stock turnaround as your business model. Total flexibility is there for you.

Directions to obtain free spreadsheet software comes in the Help File for anyone not owning Microsoft Excel, not wishing to purchase Excel. Don't worry, you don't actually need to understand spreadsheets to use our program. However, if you are a spreadsheet wizard, you will not be restricted either.
