1) As a shareholder, I have no direct control over what happens in the business. I'd influence the HR situation via the CEO. As the owner, I'd have a site down with the Head of HR to design a compensation plan that ties the performance of the Managers to the profitability of the company. One of such HR strategies are:

Profit-Sharing Incentives: This can be designed to be enforced on an enterprise-level or at the Business Unit Level or both. A profit-sharing compensation system ensures that a percentage (which is usually decided by the Remuneration Committee) is distributed according to points accrued based on the company's performance assessment for each unit/individual Sales/New Business Commission/Bonuses: This is a bonus/commission given for every sale/new business brought in to the company This encourages everyone in the company to become a salesperson. How much commission to give will depend on the advice fo the Chief Financial officer and the HR department.

2) Internal Growth Rate is the maximum level of expansion attainable for a company using only self-financing or profits reinvested.

When this is the case, the company's capital structure will comprise mostly of ploughed back profits.

The Debt to Equity ratio will tend towards zero. This is because the company is funded more from Equity than from debt.

3) A long-term investment refers to an asset remains in the company's holding/books for a year and above. Its value is usually recorded on the assets part of a company's balance sheet. Investments which can be held for the long term are stocks, bonds, real estate, and interest earning savings.

Prior to igniting a startup, best practice requires that one holds a combination of various kinds of long-term investments. This portfolio will depend on a host of various factors such as:

Risk Affinity andEconomic Pulse

Government Bonds, Rent earning Real Estate and Interest-Earning Savings are relatively safe options. A ratio of 20:20:40 respectively will make for a great combination. The ratio for cash reserves is highest because, the higher the cash, the higher the interest. Besides, it's safe to keep maintain longterm investment that can be quickly converted when the need arises.

Sales Forecasting

As a startup, I'd go for the Intuitive Forecasting Method.

This method has a lot of demerits as it is not based on historical evidence or data. However, it's the best way to start off. If combined with market intelligence, (that is, data of businesses in a similar industry) this method can prove to be more effective.

Cheers!
