Forecast Better. Grow Faster.

Businesses that forecast & review their forecasts regularly are 2× more likely to grow and foresee the bumps ahead.

So why are so many companies still winging it?

If you’re running a business with a lean team and are responsible for the growth and the numbers, you already wear more hats than you’d like. You’ve got sales to drive, customers to keep happy, and a growing to-do list.

And somewhere on that list? “Update the cash flow forecast.”

But it’s manual. It’s fiddly. It takes time you don’t have. You’re switching between bank logins, invoices, spreadsheets, and accounting tools... One broken formula later and you’re back to checking your bank balance and crossing your fingers.

Here’s the problem:

💥 The Forecasting Problem, By the Numbers:

📉 82% of business failures are cash-related

📉 22% of UK SMEs don’t forecast at all

📉 81% say cash flow has blocked their growth

📉 Even when they do forecast, it takes an average of 12 days,  often too late to act

📈 Manual forecasts are complex, error-prone but businesses with accurate sales forecasts are:  

 - 10% more likely to grow revenue   

- 7.3% more likely to hit their sales quotas

Currently, it's not just inefficient. It’s risky.

And it’s holding your business back from its next big move.

The Best Operators Use Forecasting to Go Faster

When forecasting works, it’s not just about avoiding disaster.

It’s about making better moves, faster.

✅ You know how long your runway really is

✅ You see what’s draining cash  and where it’s working

✅ You make decisions based on what’s ahead, not just what’s in the bank

Smart businesses use forecasts to test their next big decision before it costs them.

New hire? New price? New spend?

Run the scenario. See the outcome. Decide with confidence.

And yes, they sleep better too.
