Which document would specify anticipated funding requirements and sources?

• A. Sales forecast
• B. Funding plan
• C. Marketing plan
• D. Product roadmap

Answer: (B)

This item tests how a venture maps out its future capital needs and where that money will come from. The funding plan lays out anticipated funding requirements—how much money is needed, when it’s needed, and the mix of sources to cover those needs (such as owner investment, loans, equity from investors, or grants). It’s the bridge between cash flow projections and a strategy for acquiring capital, showing whether planned operations can be funded to reach milestones and how debt or equity would be serviced. Other documents focus on different aspects: a sales forecast projects expected revenue and doesn’t specify financing; a marketing plan outlines actions to promote and sell products; a product roadmap maps development milestones and features. None of them detail financing sources or timing like a funding plan does.
