# Startup Financial Projections: [Company name]

> A 36-month, three-statement financial projection for an early-stage
> company: the assumptions register, the revenue and headcount builds,
> the projected income statement, cash flow statement and balance
> sheet, the checks that tie them together, the metrics investors ask
> for, scenarios, and the funding requirement. Use it as the written
> companion to the spreadsheet: it records what the model assumes and
> why, so a reader can challenge the inputs without reverse-engineering
> the formulas. Structure follows common startup and corporate finance
> practice; the statement layout is compatible with IFRS and US GAAP
> management reporting but is not a statutory format. Replace every
> `[bracketed]` value and every row marked *Example*. All figures are
> fictional and illustrative. This is a planning format, not financial,
> investment, tax or accounting advice; check current rules and consult
> a qualified professional before relying on any projection.

<!-- Guidance: How to use this template
- Build the spreadsheet first or alongside, then use this document to
  record every assumption, its source and its owner. The spreadsheet
  calculates; this document explains.
- Keep the three statements linked: net profit flows into retained
  earnings, depreciation and working capital movements bridge profit to
  operating cash, and closing cash on the cash flow statement equals
  cash on the balance sheet. Section 9 lists the checks.
- Project monthly for the first 24 months and at least monthly or
  quarterly for months 25 to 36. Investors read the annual summary
  first and the monthly detail when they doubt a number.
- Drive revenue from customer counts and price, and costs from
  headcount, never from "revenue grows 15% a month".
- The worked example (the fictional company Verrowind, which sells a
  stock-forecasting subscription to independent bicycle shops) is
  computed and internally consistent; the same company and figures
  appear in `startup/hiring-plan`, `startup/fundraising-tracker` and
  `startup/founders-agreement-outline`. Replace it with your own.
- For the full model design (sheet map, formula conventions, review),
  pair this with `finance/financial-model-specification`.

## 1. Purpose, audience and decisions

<!-- Guidance: State which decisions the projection supports. A fundraising projection, a board budget and a lender case need different levels of prudence; say which this is. -->

| Item | Answer |
|---|---|
| Primary purpose | [Size the seed round / set the annual budget / test break-even timing] |
| Decisions it supports | [How much to raise, hiring pace, pricing change] |
| Audience | [Founders, board, prospective investors] |
| Case presented | [Management base case, with downside and upside in section 11] |
| What it is not | [A forecast of guaranteed results, a valuation, a statutory filing] |

*Example:* "Verrowind uses this projection to size a 2,000,000 USD seed
round closing in January 2027, to plan eleven roles over three years,
and to show investors when the business could approach cash break-even
without further funding."

## 2. Company snapshot and projection scope

<!-- Guidance: Give the reader the starting point: what the company sells, to whom, how it charges, and where it stands today. Note what is out of scope (a second product, a new country) so nobody assumes it is in the numbers. -->

| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Product and model | [What you sell, subscription / usage / transaction / hardware] |
| Customer | [Segment] |
| Starting point | [Customers, monthly recurring revenue, cash at the start date] |
| Entity scope | [Single entity / parent and subsidiaries, consolidated] |
| Geography | [Countries in scope] |
| Out of scope | [Products, markets or events excluded] |
| Granularity | [Monthly months 1 to 36 / monthly to 24 then quarterly] |

*Example:* Verrowind sells a monthly stock-forecasting subscription to
independent bicycle shops, billed by card monthly in advance. On
2027-01-01 it has 40 paying shops, 150,000 USD of cash from the
founders and a pre-seed angel, and two founders. The projection covers
January 2027 to December 2029 for one entity. A planned hardware
add-on is out of scope.

## 3. Assumptions register

<!-- Guidance: Every input in the model appears here once, with a value, a unit, the evidence behind it and an owner. The pitfall is an assumption hidden in a formula ("*1.2") that nobody can find or challenge. Separate assumptions that come from evidence (current churn) from targets (future conversion). -->

| ID | Assumption | Value | Unit | Basis and evidence | Owner | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A-01 *(Example)* | Opening paying customers | 40 | shops | Billing system, 2026-12-31 | [@ceo] | High |
| A-02 *(Example)* | New customers per month | 8 (M1 to M6), 12 (M7 to M12), 18 (M13 to M24), 24 (M25 to M36) | shops | Pipeline conversion in Q4 2026 plus planned sales hires | [@ceo] | Medium |
| A-03 *(Example)* | Monthly logo churn | 2.0% | of opening customers | Last 6 months averaged 1.6%; rounded up for prudence | [@cto] | Medium |
| A-04 *(Example)* | Price per shop per month | 250 (Y1), 275 (Y2), 300 (Y3) | USD | Current list price; one increase a year tested with 10 shops | [@ceo] | Medium |
| A-05 *(Example)* | Cost of revenue | 20% | of revenue | Hosting, data feeds, payment fees, first-line support | [@cto] | High |
| A-06 *(Example)* | Paid acquisition cost per new customer | 600 | USD | Trade show and paid search tests, 2026 | [@ceo] | Low |
| A-07 *(Example)* | Employer on-costs | 20% | of salary | Payroll taxes, benefits, pension; check current rates per country | [@ceo] | Medium |
| A-08 *(Example)* | Annual salary increase | 3% | each January from Y2 | Policy | [@ceo] | High |
| A-09 *(Example)* | Other fixed operating costs | 6,000 | USD per month | Rent, software, insurance, legal, accounting, recruiting ads | [@ceo] | Medium |
| A-10 *(Example)* | Equipment per new hire | 2,000 | USD, capitalised | Laptop and peripherals, 36-month straight-line depreciation from the month after purchase | [@cto] | High |
| A-11 *(Example)* | Customer collection | Card, monthly in advance | no receivables | Payment provider terms | [@ceo] | High |
| A-12 *(Example)* | Supplier payment | 1 month of cost of revenue, marketing and other costs held as payables | days | Supplier terms | [@ceo] | Medium |
| A-13 *(Example)* | Equity raised | 2,000,000 | USD in M1 | Seed round, see `startup/fundraising-tracker` | [@ceo] | Medium |
| A-14 *(Example)* | Income tax | Nil | | Tax losses throughout; losses carried forward not recognised as an asset | [External accountant] | Medium |

Assumptions you should add for your business, if relevant: annual
prepayment and deferred revenue, receivable days for invoiced
customers, inventory, sales tax or VAT timing, grants and R&D tax
credits (check eligibility rules in your country), debt and interest,
foreign exchange, and stock-based compensation (a non-cash expense in
statutory accounts).

## 4. Revenue build

<!-- Guidance: Build revenue bottom-up from drivers, and show the customer roll-forward so a reader can check it. Opening plus new minus churned equals closing. Round churned customers to whole customers each month and say so. -->

Formula: closing customers = opening customers + new customers minus
churned customers, where churned customers = opening customers x
monthly churn, rounded to the nearest whole customer (halves up, as
the spreadsheet ROUND function does). Monthly revenue = closing
customers x price per shop.

| Year | Opening customers | New | Churned | Closing customers | Exit MRR (USD) | Revenue (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Y1 2027 *(Example)* | 40 | 120 | 20 | 140 | 35,000 | 270,250 |
| Y2 2028 *(Example)* | 140 | 216 | 53 | 303 | 83,325 | 764,775 |
| Y3 2029 *(Example)* | 303 | 288 | 94 | 497 | 149,100 | 1,483,800 |

Exit MRR is December revenue. Annual recurring revenue (ARR) run rate
at the end of 2029 is 149,100 x 12 = 1,789,200 USD. Explain any revenue
that is not recurring (set-up fees, services) in a separate line.

```

## 5. Headcount and operating cost build

<!-- Guidance: People are usually 60% to 80% of an early company's costs, so the headcount plan is the cost plan. List each role with start month and salary, and keep it identical to the hiring plan. The common pitfall is hiring in the model a quarter earlier than the business can recruit. -->

The detailed role plan, sequencing and recruiting budget sit in
`startup/hiring-plan`. The table shows fully loaded people cost per
year (salary x 1.20 on-costs, salaries rising 3% each January; a role
hired in Y2 starts on the Y2 rate).

| Role | Start month | Base salary, 2027 rate (USD) | Y1 cost | Y2 cost | Y3 cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Co-founder, CEO *(Example)* | M1 | 90,000 | 108,000 | 111,240 | 114,577 |
| Co-founder, CTO *(Example)* | M1 | 90,000 | 108,000 | 111,240 | 114,577 |
| Senior software engineer *(Example)* | M2 | 130,000 | 143,000 | 160,680 | 165,500 |
| Product designer *(Example)* | M4 | 105,000 | 94,500 | 129,780 | 133,673 |
| Software engineer *(Example)* | M6 | 120,000 | 84,000 | 148,320 | 152,770 |
| Customer success manager *(Example)* | M9 | 70,000 | 28,000 | 86,520 | 89,116 |
| Account executive *(Example)* | M12 | 85,000 | 8,500 | 105,060 | 108,212 |
| Software engineer *(Example)* | M15 | 120,000 | 0 | 123,600 | 152,770 |
| Marketing lead *(Example)* | M18 | 110,000 | 0 | 79,310 | 140,039 |
| Customer success manager *(Example)* | M24 | 70,000 | 0 | 7,210 | 89,116 |
| Account executive *(Example)* | M27 | 85,000 | 0 | 0 | 90,176 |
| **Total people cost** | | | **574,000** | **1,062,960** | **1,350,526** |
| Headcount at year end | | | 7 | 10 | 11 |

Non-people operating costs: paid acquisition (new customers x 600 USD)
and fixed other costs (6,000 USD a month, 72,000 USD a year). If you
pay variable sales commission, model it as a separate line linked to
new bookings.

## 6. Projected income statement

<!-- Guidance: Present an annual summary here and keep the monthly statement in the model or an appendix. Use the same line items as your management accounts so actuals can be compared later. If your statutory accounts use IFRS, note that IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 and introduces an "operating profit" subtotal; align management labels where practical. -->

| Line item (USD) | Y1 2027 | Y2 2028 | Y3 2029 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue *(Example)* | 270,250 | 764,775 | 1,483,800 |
| Cost of revenue | (54,050) | (152,955) | (296,760) |
| **Gross profit** | **216,200** | **611,820** | **1,187,040** |
| Gross margin | 80.0% | 80.0% | 80.0% |
| People costs | (574,000) | (1,062,960) | (1,350,526) |
| Paid acquisition | (72,000) | (129,600) | (172,800) |
| Other operating costs | (72,000) | (72,000) | (72,000) |
| **EBITDA** | **(501,800)** | **(652,740)** | **(408,286)** |
| Depreciation | (2,722) | (5,500) | (7,167) |
| **Operating profit (loss)** | **(504,522)** | **(658,240)** | **(415,452)** |
| Interest and income tax | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| **Net profit (loss)** | **(504,522)** | **(658,240)** | **(415,452)** |

All figures in sections 6 to 8 are rounded to the nearest USD from
the unrounded model, so a few Y3 totals differ by 1 from the sum of
the rounded lines; the model itself balances to zero (section 9).

Monthly detail: [link to the monthly sheet or appendix]. In the
example, the monthly loss peaks at about 61,600 USD in month 18 (EBITDA)
and narrows to about 15,200 USD in month 36.

## 7. Projected cash flow statement

<!-- Guidance: Use the indirect method: start from net profit, add back non-cash items, adjust for working capital, then investing and financing flows. Cash is what determines runway, not profit. The pitfall is a cash flow that does not reconcile to the balance sheet. -->

| Line item (USD) | Y1 2027 | Y2 2028 | Y3 2029 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net profit (loss) *(Example)* | (504,522) | (658,240) | (415,452) |
| Add back depreciation | 2,722 | 5,500 | 7,167 |
| Increase in payables | 20,200 | 13,265 | 16,755 |
| **Cash from operating activities** | **(481,600)** | **(639,475)** | **(391,531)** |
| Purchase of equipment | (14,000) | (6,000) | (2,000) |
| **Cash from investing activities** | **(14,000)** | **(6,000)** | **(2,000)** |
| Equity raised | 2,000,000 | 0 | 0 |
| **Cash from financing activities** | **2,000,000** | **0** | **0** |
| Net change in cash | 1,504,400 | (645,475) | (393,531) |
| Opening cash | 150,000 | 1,654,400 | 1,008,925 |
| **Closing cash** | **1,654,400** | **1,008,925** | **615,394** |

Lowest projected cash balance: 615,394 USD at month 36 in the base
case. Add any transaction costs of the round (legal fees) as a
deduction from equity raised once known.

## 8. Projected balance sheet

<!-- Guidance: Even a simple balance sheet catches errors that the other two statements hide. Keep it at year ends in the document and monthly in the model. -->

| Line item (USD), at 31 December | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash *(Example)* | 1,654,400 | 1,008,925 | 615,394 |
| Equipment, net | 11,278 | 11,778 | 6,611 |
| **Total assets** | **1,665,678** | **1,020,703** | **622,005** |
| Trade and other payables | 20,200 | 33,465 | 50,220 |
| **Total liabilities** | **20,200** | **33,465** | **50,220** |
| Share capital and share premium | 2,150,000 | 2,150,000 | 2,150,000 |
| Accumulated losses | (504,522) | (1,162,762) | (1,578,215) |
| **Total equity** | **1,645,478** | **987,238** | **571,785** |
| **Total liabilities and equity** | **1,665,678** | **1,020,703** | **622,005** |

The opening 150,000 USD is treated as paid-in capital from the founders
and pre-seed angel. The example seed round is a post-money SAFE (see
`startup/fundraising-tracker`); for simplicity this management
projection shows it within equity. Statutory accounts may classify a
SAFE or other convertible instrument differently (for example as a
liability) depending on its terms and the accounting framework, so ask
your accountant and note the treatment here.

## 9. Three-statement links and integrity checks

<!-- Guidance: List every check the model runs and its result. A check that is not visible on the summary sheet is not a check. All should read zero difference before the projection leaves the founders. -->

| Check ID | Check | Rule | Result Y1 / Y2 / Y3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CHK-01 *(Example)* | Balance sheet balances | Total assets minus total liabilities and equity = 0 | 0 / 0 / 0 |
| CHK-02 *(Example)* | Cash ties | Closing cash on cash flow = cash on balance sheet | 0 / 0 / 0 |
| CHK-03 *(Example)* | Retained earnings roll | Opening accumulated losses + net loss = closing | 0 / 0 / 0 |
| CHK-04 *(Example)* | Customer roll-forward | Opening + new minus churned = closing, every month | Pass |
| CHK-05 *(Example)* | Headcount ties to hiring plan | Same roles, start months and salaries as `startup/hiring-plan` | Pass |
| CHK-06 *(Example)* | Equipment roll | Opening net + capex minus depreciation = closing net | 0 / 0 / 0 |
| CHK-07 *(Example)* | No negative cash | Monthly closing cash greater than zero | Pass, minimum 615,394 |

## 10. Key metrics

<!-- Guidance: Show the handful of metrics that investors in your sector use, with the definition next to each number. Definitions vary between investors, so state yours. The pitfall is a ratio that looks strong only because a cost is left out (for example customer acquisition cost without sales salaries). -->

| Metric | Definition used here | Value *(Example)* |
|---|---|---|
| Gross margin | Gross profit / revenue | 80.0% each year |
| Average monthly net burn, Q4 2027 | Fall in cash over months 10 to 12 / 3 | 50,583 USD |
| Runway at end of 2027 | Closing cash / Q4 average net burn | about 32.7 months |
| Average monthly net burn, Q4 2029 | Fall in cash over months 34 to 36 / 3 | 17,727 USD |
| Paid customer acquisition cost (CAC) | Paid acquisition spend / new customers | 600 USD |
| Fully loaded CAC, 2028 | (Paid acquisition + account executive + marketing lead cost) / new customers = 313,970 / 216 | 1,454 USD |
| CAC payback, fully loaded, 2028 | Fully loaded CAC / (price x gross margin) = 1,454 / (275 x 0.8) | about 6.6 months |
| Customer lifetime value (LTV), 2028 | Price x gross margin / monthly churn = 275 x 0.8 / 0.02 | 11,000 USD |
| LTV to fully loaded CAC, 2028 | 11,000 / 1,454 | about 7.6 |
| Exit ARR run rate, 2029 | December 2029 revenue x 12 | 1,789,200 USD |

Runway figures assume no change in burn; restate them with the
projected burn path when you present runway to the board. For deeper
cohort economics, use `finance/unit-economics-analysis`.

## 11. Scenarios and sensitivities

<!-- Guidance: Show at least a downside that a sceptical investor would believe. Change a few drivers at a time and say which. Report end cash and the lowest cash point, because the lowest point decides whether you survive. -->

| Scenario *(Example)* | Drivers changed | Customers M36 | Y3 revenue (USD) | Cash at M36 (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base | As in section 3 | 497 | 1,483,800 | 615,394 |
| Downside | New customers 30% lower, churn 3% a month | 313 | 954,300 | 42,314 |
| Upside | New customers 20% higher | 596 | 1,778,700 | 922,514 |
| Price 10% lower | All prices x 0.9 | 497 | 1,335,420 | 410,906 |
| Churn 3% | Churn 3% a month, other drivers base | 436 | 1,321,500 | 426,414 |

Scaled new-customer counts are rounded to whole customers each month,
with the same rounding rule as section 4.

In the downside, cash falls to 42,314 USD by month 36 with costs
unchanged, which leaves almost no margin. Record the actions you would
take and their trigger, for example "pause the M24 and M27 hires if
closing customers at M18 are below [number]".

| Trigger ID | Leading indicator | Threshold | Action | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TRG-01 *(Example)* | Closing customers at M18 | Below 190 | Defer hires planned for M24 and M27 | [@ceo] |
| TRG-02 *(Example)* | Rolling 3-month churn | Above 3% | Pause paid acquisition, run churn review | [@cto] |

## 12. Funding requirement and use of funds

<!-- Guidance: Derive the round size from the projection, not the other way round. Show the lowest cash point plus a buffer, and the milestones the money buys before the next round. -->

| Item | Value *(Example)* |
|---|---|
| Round size | 2,000,000 USD seed, closing M1 (January 2027) |
| Months of runway funded in base case | 36 months, with 615,394 USD remaining |
| Milestones before next round | [About 1.0 million USD ARR run rate by month 24 to 30, net revenue retention evidence, 300 shops] |
| Planned next round timing | [Month 24 to 30, from a position of about 12 to 20 months of remaining runway] |

| Use of funds, 36 months *(Example)* | USD | Share of 2,000,000 |
|---|---|---|
| Net cash consumed by operations and equipment | 1,534,606 | 76.7% |
| Increase in cash at M36 over the opening 150,000 (buffer kept from the raise) | 465,394 | 23.3% |

Net cash consumed = opening cash 150,000 + raise 2,000,000 minus
closing cash 615,394 = 1,534,606 USD.

## 13. Risks, limitations and change log

<!-- Guidance: Name the assumptions the projection is most sensitive to and the ones with least evidence. Investors trust a projection more when its weak points are stated. -->

| Risk ID | Risk to the projection | Assumption affected | Mitigation or monitoring |
|---|---|---|---|
| FR-01 *(Example)* | Sales hires ramp slower than planned | A-02 | Track pipeline per account executive monthly |
| FR-02 *(Example)* | Price increases cause churn | A-03, A-04 | Test increases on a cohort before rollout |
| FR-03 *(Example)* | Employer on-costs differ by country | A-07 | Payroll provider quote per country of hire |
| FR-04 *(Example)* | Tax credits or grants assumed but not received | Not in base case | Model only after written confirmation |

Limitations: the projection excludes [items]. It is prepared on a
management basis and is not an audited forecast or a statutory filing.
Update it against actuals monthly and log material changes in the
revision history.

management reporting under IFRS and US GAAP; IFRS 18 is named for its
effective date and new operating profit subtotal only and no standard
text is reproduced. All wording, the example company and its figures
are original and fictional. Check the current accounting standards,
tax rules and payroll rates that apply to you. This is a planning
format, not financial, investment, tax or accounting advice; consult a
qualified professional. Template licence: MIT.
