Chapter Chapter 2 in Analysing, Planning and Valuing Private Firms, 2023, pp 41-68 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we focus on forecasting financial statements. The main aim is to provide a method to forecast financial statements based on a series of assumptions. These assumptions are crucial for the analysis and should come from a mixture of historical quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis related to the business and the economic environment through which a firm interacts. In the first part of the chapter, we focus on how to perform a qualitative analysis to set the input parameters in the forecasting plan. While in the second part, we move to the description of the quantitative steps to construct a forecasting plan. In this part, we provide a novel forecasting method that starts from the planning of the financial outflows and revenues that allow us to assess the business’ financial sustainability.
