Securing Financing Part 2: How to Create Financial Projections

This webinar is designed to help new businesses develop accurate and realistic financial projections, a critical component for securing financing from lenders. In this session, we will guide attendees through the process of building financial models that demonstrate the viability and growth potential of their businesses.

Financial projections are essential to understanding and communicating the future financial health of your business. They allow lenders to evaluate risk and assess your business's ability to generate revenue, manage expenses and ultimately repay loans. We will cover key areas such as:

  • Revenue Forecasting: Estimating sales growth and understanding market demand.
  • Cost and Expense Projections: Anticipating operational costs, including fixed and variable expenses.
  • Profit and Loss Statements: Creating income statements that showcase revenue, expenses, and profitability over time.
  • Cash Flow Projections: Understanding the movement of cash in and out of your business to ensure liquidity.
  • Break-Even Analysis: Calculating the point where your business will begin to generate profit.
  • Balance Sheet Projections: Detailing your business’s assets, liabilities, and equity over a set period.
  • Assumptions and Justifications: How to make realistic assumptions about market conditions, growth rates, and costs, and justify these in your financial model.

The second part of this webinar series will provide new businesses with the knowledge to build comprehensive financial models that align with the expectations of lenders and investors. Attendees will learn how to structure their financial projections to demonstrate financial health, growth potential, and the ability to manage risks. These models are critical tools for de-risking your business in the eyes of potential lenders and presenting a strong case for financing.
