Forecasting as a Growth Tool

Forecasting and financial modelling are not dark financial arts reserved for huge companies with dedicated CFOs. They are an exceptional growth tool that is accessible to many more businesses than people realise.

In this guide, we explain:

  • The differences between a budget, forecast and financial model
  • How a robust cash flow forecast works, and how to make one
  • How to make proper use of profit and sales forecasts
  • Using forecasts and scenario planning to promote sustainable growth

What our Forecasting guide includes

The fundamentals

What a valuation is, what a good valuation looks like, and when it might be needed!

Types of value

What does value really mean in terms of a business? We'll break down the main types of value, including "Fair Market", "Investment" and "Intrinsic" value, so you can make the correct assumptions from the start.

Valuation terminology

We cut through the jargon to ensure you understand exactly what your advisers, HMRC and other involved parties are talking about.

the right valuation for the right business

We cover business model analysis, industry and market assessment, and everything else you need for an accurate, defensible valuation that's fit for purpose.

business lifecycle stages

A business in early growth looks very different from one that’s been stable for several years, and valuations are fundamentally different too.

special valuation scenarios

There are some situations where a more specialist approach is needed, particularly if there are unique risks, structures or asset types that standard valuation methods can’t fully cover.

Making good use of a valuation

Beyond the obvious function of valuations ahead of major business transactions, there are several practical valuation applications for many real-world situations. We'll explain these in detail.
