Why a Small Business forecast is different
A general forecast for service and product businesses that want a clear view of the next 13 weeks and 12 months. A generic template makes you invent these lines yourself and guess at timing. This one starts with them in place.
What you’ll see after 20 minutes
- The week your balance is lowest over the next quarter
- How many months of runway you have at current spending
- What happens to cash if sales drop 20%, or a large customer pays late
- Whether you can afford a hire, an equipment purchase or a slow season
What’s in the file
A start-here tab with instructions, a settings tab for your dates and opening balance, the weekly and monthly forecasts, a scenarios tab, an actuals tracker and a one-page dashboard you can print or send to your bank.
