PROJECTIONS
2 To 3 Years Real Projections.
It's important to provide realistic and well-supported projections to the lender to demonstrate that your business has a viable plan for growth and repayment of the loan. When applying for an SBA 7(a) loan, you'll typically be required to provide several types of projections to help the lender assess the financial viability of your business.
These projections may include: Profit and Loss, Cash Flow, Balance Sheet, and Sales Projections
-
Profit and loss projections: These projections provide a forecast of your business's income and expenses over a specific period, typically 12-24 months. They can help the lender assess the expected profitability of your business and its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to repay the loan.
-
Cash flow projections: Cash flow projections show the expected inflows and outflows of cash in your business over a specific period. They provide insight into your business's ability to meet its financial obligations, such as loan payments, and ensure that it has sufficient working capital to operate effectively.
-
Balance sheet projections: Balance sheet projections provide a snapshot of your business's financial position at a specific point in time. They show your business's assets, liabilities, and equity, which can help the lender assess its overall financial health and capacity to repay the loan.
-
Sales projections: Sales projections show the expected revenue from your business's products or services over a specific period. They can help the lender assess the growth potential of your business and its ability to generate sufficient revenue to repay the loan.
