When projecting revenue for an existing business expansion, it makes sense to start with the historical financials.  Our template gives you the ability to create a base to project off of using your historical financials.  You can input up to 5 years of historical data including monthly detail for the current year.  From there you can select how you would like to project revenue for each revenue line item.  Your revenue forecasting options include:

• Annualize current year revenue
• An Average of previous years
• Manually set a base monthly revenue projection

Once you have a base monthly revenue calculated, you can increase or decrease each revenue line by a percentage or manually forecast revenue based upon your businesses planned expansion.

Similarly with expenses you will be able to establish a base level of expenses based on historical data or manual entry. From there you can increase or decrease expense line items by a percentage, or forecast expense line items as a percentage of revenue.

‍

In the general assumptions tab, you will input important details such as your existing fixed assets, current assets, and loans. Then you will also be able to add any fixed assets to be purchased as well as any future loans or additional investments following the acquisition. The template will then automatically build your financial statements including your balance sheet which will always balance.
