This document provides guidance on creating financial projections and models for a new business. It emphasizes using a bottom-up approach by calculating projections based on key assumptions and market data rather than top-down industry averages. The document outlines steps for gathering industry reports, segmenting the target market, determining costs and team size needs, and providing an example projection for an acupuncture business targeting women in Miami that projects $48 million in annual revenue by year 5.
