Accessing the Business Forecasting Model
Website and Spreadsheet Directions

The Business Forecasting Model is based on Excel spreadsheets and is comprised of several worksheet sections, spreadsheets and charts. The model is designed to allow you to develop cash flow forecasts and financial projections for your business. Your role is to research your business, develop the assumptions and estimates for your business, and then enter these estimates (as described in the workbook) into the appropriate sections of the Business Forecasting Model.

The Business Forecasting Model is available to all registered owners of this workbook. It can be downloaded here on our website at www.FinanceWithoutFear.com.
