  2. Why Is Forecasting Important?
 FORECASTING IS THE PROCESS OF PREDICTING FUTURE FINANCIAL OUTCOMES BASED ON HISTORICAL AND CURRENT DATA. IT IS A CORNERSTONE OF FINANCIAL PLANNING, PROVIDING BUSINESSES WITH A ROADMAP FOR THE FUTURE. IN THE CONTEXT OF FINANCIAL FORECASTING, THE FOCUS IS ON IDENTIFYING TRENDS, ANTICIPATING CHANGES, AND PREPARING FOR POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS.

  3. What Are the Methods of Financial Forecasting?
 • There are various methods of financial forecasting, each with its strengths and suitability for different business scenarios. The most common methods include: • Time Series Analysis: This method involves analysing historical data to identify trends and patterns. It’s particularly useful for short-term forecasting. • Econometric Modeling: This involves using statistical methods to test hypotheses and forecast future trends based on economic theory. • Judgmental Forecasting: Here, forecasting is based on intuitive judgments, opinions, and probability estimates. This method is often used when there is a lack of historical data.

  4. Why Is Modeling Important?
 Financial Modeling, on the other hand, is the process of creating a summary of a company’s expenses and earnings in the form of a spreadsheet that can be used to calculate the impact of a future event or decision. A financial model is a tool used for decision-making, not just prediction. Financial modelling for startups is indispensable. It enables entrepreneurs to test different scenarios and see their potential financial impact. This is crucial for startups that need to make important decisions on funding, growth strategies, and resource allocation.
