Financial models are about making solid forecasts. While no one has a crystal ball, a robust financial model can give you insights into not just the future of your business but how specific scenarios or decisions will help or hinder your startup.
Building a financial model will help you in four main ways:
#1. Forecasting your future expenses and revenues.
#2. Establish whether your business idea is feasible
#3. Understand how various decisions will impact your business, both positively and negatively
#4. Evaluate how investment can impact your business
Answers to these questions are critical for startup founders because they ensure that they do not rely on assumptions or wishful thinking when making business decisions.
There are three big reasons why your startup can't ignore Financial Planning & Analysis:
#1. You need to understand if your business can eventually turn a profit.
#2. You need a solid model to show investors or to get other sources of capital.
#3. You need to set solid targets that your business is working toward.
