FAQs
A financial forecast is a prediction of what a business’s financial position will be in the future.
Financial forecasts are produced by looking at a business’s past financial performance and combining this with predictions about future economic conditions, trends in the relevant sector and other internal and external factors that could impact a business’s revenue.
A financial forecast typically includes projections of income, expenditure, cash flow and profitability.
Financial forecasting is important because it allows a business to develop a growth strategy that’s realistic and achievable. It also allows a business to protect itself from unexpected internal and external events that might affect revenue. Financial forecasting is also important because potential lenders or backers might want to see it before they agree to lend money to, or invest in, the business.
A business forecast generally refers to a financial forecast that gives a clear picture of an organisation’s historic financial performance and an indication of how it might perform in the future. The future performance will depend on whether circumstances remain the same or whether, for example, an economic slowdown is predicted, or a particular strategy is implemented to drive growth.
A forecast is often started by using past data, which is then combined with information about the future. For example, sales might be forecast to be higher than in previous years due to investment in a marketing campaign.
Forecasting is done using past data combined with information about what is known or predicted about the future, for example, an economic downturn or new product launches.
A good forecast is an accurate and impartial prediction of future financial performance, trends, demand and other factors that can impact a business.
