You can forecast on your business history or basis of your strong increase in revenue over the expected changes in the market base(eg introduction of new technologies). Whatever you decide to do it is important that the forecast includes the right footnotes or comments so that your prognosis is easy to understand and that the figures can be interpreted in line with the assumptions.

• Projected revenue / sales forecast
• Expected costs
• Estimated Assets and Liabilities
• Expected Cashflow
Once completed, your prognosis should be reviewed regularly - your prognosis may shift depending on your financial goals. Updating the forecast regularly in the past allows you to verify predictions and to determine whether you were on target or off, and to develop your skills prognosis.
