We started ProjectionSmart to help entrepreneurs and small business owners. We know how important understanding the numbers of your business is to your success. We also know that understanding your numbers can be really difficult for someone who doesn't have a finance or accounting background. That's why we made ProjectionSmart so easy to use! Hear the story of ProjectionSmart here.
back to topBusiness planning is creating a working plan for your business. No plan is perfect, but you still need to plan. Dwight Eisenhower once said, "Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable." Planning forces you to think carefully through all of your business decisions. It's the opposite of "winging it." In fact, lack of planning is the most common reason given for the failure of small businesses. Planning gets you started in the direction you want to go, and it helps you successfully adapt as circumstances change.
back to topYes! With ProjectionSmart you can because we used our years of experience to make business projections simple. We've helped hundreds of entrepreneurs and small business owners like you who don't have a background in finance or accounting do their own business projections.
back to topYou need a program like QuickBooks to do your daily accounting, track inventory, and get your monthly financial statements. Those statements give you important information about where your business has been. But ProjectionSmart helps you see where you are going! With just a few minutes each month, ProjectionSmart will help you see your financial future: What's the lowest my cash will get? Is there a financial crisis coming? Can I afford to buy that new piece of equipment? What would the financial impact be of expanding my business? ProjectionSmart helps you make better forward-looking financial decisions.
