Financial forecasting template
A new DBACE resource for 2021, the Financial Forecasting template is a tool to inform your thinking and provide support when considering your enterprise’s numbers. Be aware that after your own use and manipulation formulas can adjust and it by no means ensures a correct financial forecast, so we encourage you to keep a close eye on your entries when using the spreadsheet. The template was referred to in detail during the DBACE Financial Forecasting webinar, which you can catch up on here.
DBACE guide to writing a plan
The guide helps applicants, as well as aspiring creative entrepreneurs in general, organise their idea and consider the sustainability of their venture.
The guide is a form of workbook, comprised of different worksheets, you can dip in and out of, or work chronologically through each.
As you work through the worksheets you will discover more about your work and how to express the impact it has.
The approach works for creatives, people with ambitions to set up a new enterprise and with established businesses who want to increase their impact.
Here, we have given you the option of downloading the complete guide or individual worksheets.
The following are individual worksheets, from the guide, which you can download as standalone files.
