How do you go about filling in the financial projection sections of the
business plan if you have no prior paperwork to go off of? I have past
experience in a similar business I am planning but no hard copies. I can
guess and project high on past experience but that's it. As far as asking in
the community it seems awkward to walk into a business no matter how out of
the radius of the one you are planning and asking for financial information.
This section is all that stands in the way of me filing. Thank you
In addition to checking out industry statistics, check out the SCORE.org
national website "Templates and Tools" section. There's a Business Plans &
Financial Statements Template Gallery. Also the BUZGate.org web site has
no-cost, plug-and-play forecasting and P&L worksheets that you can use with
to pull your numbers together and experiment with different assumptions about
revenue and expense levels.

Hi,
Estimating will be the way to go, especially if you have soem past experience to back that up. You can also look for industry statistics to fill in the fields for which you don't have information. Good luck!
