Description This manual describes the Seed Business Management Tool, developed by Iowa State University
(ISU) and the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT).
The tool (version 1.4 developed 8 May 2008) is specifically developed for (small-scale) seed
companies to achieve two goals. The first is to help generate financial projections over a specific
period to support the creation of a business plan. By entering all the required input data, the tool
will generate an income statement and a balance sheet. The second aim is to support decisionmaking
by enabling the user to change one or more parameters of his/her business setup. If the
data is entered according to the current situation and then certain parameters – prices, quantities
or capital structure – are changed, the model will calculate the outcome in terms of production,
profitability and balance sheet.
