PRH - Partridge Radiant Heating

An Interpreneur’s Journey is the story of Bill Partridge and his struggles to get a new business off the ground. As I wrote the book, I developed a lot of material describing the mechanics of business planning and the startup process. I also created detailed budgets and sales projections for Bill's business using Microsoft Excel. Some of this material was too technical to be included in the book and other sections had to be edited for length. Rather than leave this material on the cutting room floor, I've made it available here for those who are interested.

The following documents contain information that may be useful if you are about to launch a new venture. I especially encourage you to explore the financial plans and see how they are structured. As I explain in the book, a financial model for your business is a very useful tool. Enjoy!
