This Financial Feasibility Assignment deals with conducting a literary festival at Cambridge
University. This word festival is conducted twice a year and it has gained popularity over the years. It
is a literary festival where there will be great literary works on display for the guests. The constant
support of the Cambridge University has been the most motivating thing for the Word-fest organizing
committee. I have tried to create an operating budget for the same to be able to do financial study of
the festival.

Details about the financials


This type of project does not require huge amount of initial expenditure. It is traditionally a low-cost
investment. But as any business requires, it will also require initial investment which has to be
funded through the traditional sources of financing, i.e. equity and debt. The requirements for this
project are described below:
1. Organizers Contribution: The initial investment in the project can be funded by equity
participation. The organizers of the literary festival have to bring in an initial corpus as their
contribution to the business. The promoter has to bring in this amount because of the nature of
the business. As this business is perceived to be a risky business, the promoter bringing in this
amount will give confidence to the investors.
2. Loan from Financial Institutions: The promoter has to rope in some of the financial institutions
to get funding for the project. The financing has to be to be a nominal amount sum but looking at
the lucrative financials of the business, the investor might show confidence. Also, we are ready to
give an 8 % rate of interest, which is higher than the prevailing market prices. This will definitely
attract the investors.

Initial Expenditure
This is a literary festival and so the nature of business is one time or it may be said that it is an
activity based project. And so the maximum concentration of the expenses in the project is on the
initial expenditure involved in the project. Although it might appear that a business of this nature
should not involve huge capital outlays, but it is not true. These can be made more clear in the
following points:

Initial Expenses: The initial expenses include expenses incurred during the pre-operative stage,
wherein money is spent on the project planning, formulation, financial Planning, advisory
services, market research etc. All these expenses are those which one is not usually exposed to,
but a businessman knows the impact of such expenses.

Legal Expenditure: This type of event requires permission from the government offices and
other competent authorities. Getting the required permission will not only cost a huge sum of
money but it will also eat a lot of time for the organizers. But the organizers cannot move ahead
without getting the green signal from the authorities.

Up-front payment: The whole festival is about creating an environment which is conducive to
literary works and creates an aura around it. This will require setting up of tents and stalls for the
event. The partners for setting up the venue will have to made some upfront payment for the
execution of the project.
