It is usually recommended that these projected statements be on a monthly basis for at least the first twelve months or until the business is projected to be profitable and stable. Activity displayed beyond the monthly detail may be in summary form (such as quarterly or annually). The forecast period for most business plans is two to four years.
As an example, let's say your current average number of transactions per month per customer is 3nj. Which says on average each customer does business with you 3 times each month. You could calculate how much more profit you would get if you could increase it to 3Ǒ. And I can tell you that would probably be enough to meet your plan. And if that did generate enough profit, all you would have to do is maintain everything else; sales, expenses, labor, average dollar sale, etc, and then just figure out how you could increase your transactions from 3nj to 3Ǒ. Maybe it could be with some type of promotion that would get customers to come in more often.
