Overview

Investors and lenders judge a forecast by its assumptions and its downside, not by the headline growth rate. This template starts with the answer, then sets out what is in and out of scope, the revenue forecast, a variance view of costs, a cash flow statement that ties to the totals, and three scenarios with a recommendation.

The sample is a base case for Driftwood Holdings: revenue rising from £3.20M to £5.58M over FY2027 to FY2029, 62% gross margin, EBITDA break-even in month 18 and £92k of minimum cash headroom. Replace the drivers with your own, rebuild the tables from them, and set the upside and downside from what has moved in your market.

Useful for

  • A founder preparing a funding pack that shows assumptions, cash and a downside case
  • A finance lead presenting a three-year plan with scenarios to a lender or board
  • An owner testing how much a 20% revenue shortfall would cost in cash and when to act

What's included

  • Executive summary with three headline figures, four findings and a recommendation
  • Assumptions page with what is in and out of scope and the key drivers defined
  • Revenue forecast with a trend chart, a revenue mix donut and a key figures table
  • Cost variance table comparing budget, forecast and actual with a cause for each material line
  • Three-year cash flow statement with subtotals that tie to closing cash and headroom
  • Scenario comparison, scored options, a scenario map and a make-it-yours guide

Questions

Does the template include scenarios and sensitivities?

Yes. The sample shows downside, base and upside cases, plus a combined shock where sales fall and wages rise together, with revenue, break-even month and cash headroom for each.

Will the cash flow tie to the profit forecast?

The sample cash flow is built so every subtotal adds up to closing cash. When you rebuild it, include working capital and funding so profit and cash reconcile.

Are the organisation and people in the sample real?

No. Driftwood Holdings, its customers and every figure are fictional and exist only to show what a finished set of financial projections looks like.
