Mastering Your SBA Loan: How to Create a 3-Year Financial Projection Like a Pro!

On today's episode we discuss ways to project finances and revenues for future and ways by which individuals and business owners can set up systems to effectively calculate future cash flows. We also go over how business owners can generate a steady income.

Our question for today's episode is from our student, Jimmy, who is securing a SBA loan and wants to calculate the next 3 year cashflows. Jimmy is also getting started on his drone business and wants to know how to generate a steady income in a drone business.

Thank you Jimmy for the question. We delve into understanding how business can plan their forward looking projections through rational means and assumptions. We emphasize how business owners can plan and calculate revenues from services and goods while also understanding how to calculate and identify expenses through ChatGPT and AI. Rob explains how business owners can develop tools to provide rationale for services and how you charge clients in your business.

Rob also shares his Spreadsheet Calculator that he used for developing a projection model when starting Drone U and how business owners can use the tool to build their forward looking plan. (Please reach out to support@thedroneu.com if you have questions)
