Water For Equity Swap: Sustainable Community Development & Sustainable Entrepreneurship In Jamaica?S Drought Belt

This book is a gift to entrepreneurs and stakeholders within the drought belt of Jamaica's south coast. It places sustainable community development and sustainable entrepreneurship in a Jamaican context. It drills down to the drought belt and further to a specific parish, St. Elizabeth, then further to a specific resource, water, and even further to the enterprise model for the profitable distribution of water. It also includes the identification of the community nexus, the adhesive that makes the enterprise compatible and synergistic with the communities within the target market of the enterprise. The enterprise target market is identified. Projected Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Cash Flow and value parameters are automatically generated. These are all contained in a financial planning tool included at the end of the book as an embedded Excel worksheet. It has the capability of unlimited variance analysis. Every key operational and financial input is subject to change by the user within the model while keeping the financial statements and value parameter outputs relevant and accurate in response to the input changes. This book is a complete business plan and financial model for anyone who is interested in pursuing the opportunity. The enterprise is modular and scalable. It can, with the proper manipulation of data, apply to any parish, development area or community within the drought belt.
