Many entrepreneurs desire to write their own business planning document - but require assistance with the financial projections. EPIC enables its clients to save money by engaging us for the financial component of the plan while writing the document themselves.
EPIC builds financial forecasting tools that are business specific.
The foundation for your business plan is the financial model. It needs to be flexible, easy to use, compatible with software found on most computers, and integrated with your planning document. EPIC gives you all of these qualities plus the ability to send only the forecast to a reader rather than the entire document. If you want your CPA to look over the financials without sending the plan we enable you to do just that.
Retail software simply cannot account for the unique needs, line items, funding options and ownership structures that confront you as you build your business. Additionally, a software package certainly cannot ask questions or provide advice regarding revenue growth, expense levels and financing decisions you will have to make to build a convincing set of projections.
Investors and lenders want more than simply a forecast of the income statement. They need a revenue model, depreciation and amortization detail, and a forecasted balance sheet and cash flow sheet. Investors appreciate entrepreneurs who go the extra mile to provide a company valuation and EBITDA calculation as well as relevant financial ratios. EPIC Business Planning provides these along with any other data that helps you present your project.
EPIC builds your model specifically for your business and to communicate the financial information that clearly articulates the fundamental economics of the project.
Generally models include:

EPIC creates the custom model that accurately forecasts your financial statements and provides a value for your venture.
It is sometimes tempting to use exaggerated financial projections in a business plan. If you're like many entrepreneurs - you're highly optimistic and possibly even a little deluded about your first year of growth. Put yourself in the reader's chair. How believable are your assumptions?
At EPIC we are careful to present the business forecast in a positive light while still making the reader aware of the risks and obstacles which exist for our clients. We integrate high-quality narrative with a compelling presentation of demographic, product, biographical, and forecasted information to accurately portray the inherent safety and potential of the venture.
Don't trust your business plan to a template that isn't built for your project. Work with an experienced consultant to arrive at a forecast backed by sound logic that you can explain.
Take the guesswork out of projecting your financials and determining a value for your business. Email EPIC at epicanalyst@epicplanning.com - or call us toll free at 866-718-0092 for a free consultation regarding your business or project.
