Start-up or Ongoing?

Question:
My family plans to add a car wash to their existing convenience store business. Should I setup my plan as a Start-up or Ongoing business?

Answer:
In this case build the plan as an ongoing business. The third year in the past performance table feeds into the starting balances column in the balance sheet. The other columns are there for comparison only, the numbers do not transfer.
