Assumptions for Financial Projections (20xx to 20xx)
The assumptions should be consistent with and derived from forecasts
and data presented in earlier sections/ appendices of the plan. Use
text bullets to highlight key assumptions and place the details in
tables within this appendix.
Financial Projections (20xx to 20xx)
Present fully-integrated income statements (P&Ls), cash flow projections
and balance sheets by month for the first year or longer. Present
less detailed quarterly & annual projections for subsequent years.
Note: The opening balance sheet and first year's projections should
coincide with the first year covered by your plan.
