- | [[:get-started:quickstart|QuickStart]] allows you to enter 8 assumptions, and then makes very broad assumptions about every other aspect of your company. Concerning expenses, if the average company in your industry spends x% of its revenues on expenses, <php>echo $conf['comp_name'];</php> assumes that you will spend x% of your revenues on expenses. You can of course override the value of x by changing the value of EBITDA in your assumptions. In any case, <php>echo $conf['comp_name'];</php> makes no attempt to divide these expenses into categories such as marketing, sales, R&D, manufacturing, and so on. If you want to do this, switch to Standard Mode after using [[:get-started:quickstart|QuickStart]] Mode. Click on Other Expenses. There you will find one entry for miscellaneous expenses that was created by the [[:get-started:quickstart|QuickStart]] Mode. Feel free to zero this row out, and replace it with rows for actual expense categories. | + | [[:get-started:quick-start|QuickStart]] allows you to enter 8 assumptions, and then makes very broad assumptions about every other aspect of your company.
