If you own a business, you need more than a good idea. You need a clear understanding of how money will flow in and out over time. Financial projections help you answer some of the most important questions every business owner faces: How much can I realistically make? What will it cost to operate? And is this business sustainable long-term?

This workshop walks you through how financial projections work and how to build them in a way that’s practical, realistic, and useful. You’ll learn how to estimate revenue and expenses, use basic market and competitor research to inform your numbers, and apply common forecasting methods to plan for the next three to five years. We’ll also cover how projections fit into your business plan and why lenders and funders often expect to see them.

You’ll explore different forecasting approaches, learn what assumptions matter most, and understand how to adjust your projections as your business grows. We’ll break down key components like revenue, operating costs, profit, and cash flow so you can confidently explain your numbers, even if you’re not a financial expert.
