             Headcount Sensitivity




             We believe that the cost base is too high as it will not be possible to recruit at rate forecast





            The top table shows the original                Summary

            following year as well.

            Risk
            A risk for an early stage Tech business
            is failing to meet the recruitment plan
            and falling behind in product
            development and sales.

            Mitigation
            More than half the staff are customer
            services, business development or tech
            onboarding, this means they are sales
            related rather than essential technical
            development staff. These roles can be
            delayed or pushed back if sales are
            delayed reducing cash risk to the
            business.

            Heavy sensitivities on revenue means
            fewer staff will be required in year 1 &
            2 post investment.
