A Market is a place where two parties can gather to facilitate the
exchange of goods and services. The parties involved are usually
buyers and sellers. The market may be physical like a retail
outlet, where people meet face-to-face, or virtual like an online
market, where there is no direct physical contact between
buyers and sellers (Kenton, W. & Boyle, M., 2020).
A market does not refer to a particular place but it refers to a
market for a commodity or commodities. It refers to an
arrangement whereby buyers and sellers come in close contact
with each other directly or indirectly to sell and buy goods
(Shaikh, S., retrieved 2020).
A market is any place where sellers of particular goods or
services can meet with buyers of those goods and services. It
creates the potential for a transaction to take place. The buyers
must have something they can offer in exchange for the product
to create a successful transaction (Moffatt, M., 2019)
Your market consists of (Stull, C., Myers, P.& Scott D.M. (2008) as

BRIEF INTRODUCTION
The long-term goals that you plan to achieve in the future, play an
important role in everyday life as you already have in mind a set of plans for
the next five years. If you are not yet sure what you want in five years from
now will probably still have an idea of what kind of life you want. You are
still in the process of planning.
Planning is an important aspect of the firm’s operations because it provides
road maps for guiding, coordinating, and controlling the firm’s actions to
achieve its objectives. Management planning is about setting the goals of
the organization and identifying ways on how to achieve them.
There are two phases of financial planning. Financial planning starts with
long term plans which would then translate to short term plans.
Long-term financial plans or the strategic plans are a set of goals that
lay out the overall direction of the company. A long-term financial plan is
an integrated strategy that takes into account various departments such as
sales, production, marketing, and operations for the purpose of guiding
these departments towards strategic goals. Those long-term plans consider
proposed outlays for fixed assets, research and development activities,
marketing and product development actions, capital structure, and major
sources of financing. It also include would be termination of existing
projects, product lines, or lines of business; repayment or retirement of
outstanding debts; and any planned acquisitions.
Short-term financial plans or the tactical plans specify short term financial
actions and the anticipated impact of those actions. Part of short term
financial plans include setting the sales forecast and other forms of
operating and financial data. This would then translate into operating
budgets, the cash budget, and pro forma financial statements.
In this first step of the financial planning process, you will determine
your current financial situation with regard to income, savings,
