A strong business plan means more than just goals on paper — it includes clear, realistic financial projections that guide decisions and attract investors. Understanding how to build projections helps you set achievable targets and measure real progress as your business grows. This training session will break down the basics of forecasting revenue, expenses, and cash flow, so you can plan with confidence.
Participants will learn how to translate market research, pricing, and costs into practical numbers that show whether an idea is financially sound. We’ll cover how to build income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow forecasts that speak clearly to lenders, investors, or partners. You’ll see how your assumptions and key drivers shape your projections, and why it’s important to update them regularly.
This workshop also covers common mistakes businesses make when forecasting — like overestimating sales or underestimating expenses — and how to avoid them. You’ll explore simple tools and templates that help you organize your figures and test different scenarios for better decision-making.
By the end of the session, you’ll understand how to turn your vision into realistic numbers that back up your plans and give you a roadmap for growth. Whether you’re launching a startup or updating an existing business plan, this training gives you practical skills to build projections that work in the real world.
