If you do not have any financial information prepared, research industry statistics to estimate what the profits and costs will be for your company. If you still need assistance you can contact a local Small Business Development Center (SBDC) or SCORE, two of SBA’s resource partners, through the SBA.gov Local Assistance tool. They are located across the country and provide free business counseling and answers.
This section includes four spreadsheets:
Profit and Loss Projection: Shows your company’s ability to generate a net profit, or your bottom line. This is also known as an income statement.
Cash Flow Projection: Displays the operating, investing, and financing activities of your company by detailing the money coming in to and going out of your business
