Acquisition Financial Projection Template

When you are looking to acquire a business you will likely be asked to provide a set of financial projections for the business by your lender. In fact, the Small Business Administration (SBA) will require a set of financial projections for business acquisitions that are financed with SBA loans. The SBA wants to know that the business can cash flow the loan payment.

Projecting Revenue for a Business Acquisition

When projecting revenue for an acquisition the best place to start is typically the historical financials.  Our template gives you the ability to create a base to project off of.  You can input up to 5 years of historical data including monthly detail for the current year.  From there you can select how you would like to project revenue for each revenue line item.  Your revenue forecasting options include:

  • Annualize current year revenue
  • Average current year and last year
  • Average last 3 years revenue
  • Average last 4 years revenue
  • Average last 5 years revenue
  • Manually set a base monthly revenue

Once you have a base monthly revenue calculated, you can increase or decrease each revenue line by a percentage or manually forecast revenue. 

Projecting Expenses for a Business Acquisition

  • Similarly with expenses you will be able to establish a base level of expense for each expense based on historical data or manual entry. From there you can increase or decrease expense line items by a percentage, or forecast expense line items as a percentage of revenue.

Projected Acquisition Financial Statements

  • The deliverable will include a set of 5 year financial projections with an integrated income statement, cash flow forecast and projected balance sheet. You will receive both annual summary reports as well as monthly detail to satisfy the SBA and other lender requirements.

Flexible & Reusable for any Industry

  • This template is prefect when assessing any potential acquisition project and generating reliable financial pro forma forecasts. As the deal or proposal changes, this template makes it easy to create multiple iterations or analyze more than one project.

‍

Step 3: The model is automatically updated based on your assumptions

Acquisition Financial & Breakeven Analysis

  • The At-A-Glace tab will show you a few financial details such as an annual profit and loss summary including key financial percentages and ratios. As well as a break even line graph, monthly sales forecast, and more.

Acquisition Financial Pro Forma Statements

  • There are six different Financial Statement tabs that will automatically be generated: the annual formats of the income statement, cash flow statement, and balance sheet, and the month-by-month breakdowns of the same financial statements. Our balance sheets always balance, automatically. 

Investor & Lender Friendly

  • The financial reports and information are outlined and organized in a way that lenders are familiar reviewing. The acquisition financial pro forma statements display all of the necessary information that lenders or ivnestors will need in order to make a decision about your application or proposal.

What ProjectionHub Customers Think

The cost of the template is estimated at $ 2000

If you hired a CPA to build this template from scratch it would take at least 20 hours of billable time to build a similar template. At an average hourly rate of $100 per hour it would cost you $2,000.

20 hours X $100 = $2,000 value

But we've already done all the work and you don't need to hire a CPA

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I borrow from SBA for an acquisition loan?

The SBA 7a program, which can be used for business acquisitions, has a maximum loan size of $5 million according to the SBA. 

What is a seller’s note for a business acquisition?

A seller’s note is a loan that the seller provides to the buyer in a business acquisition.  For example, a buyer and seller might agree to an acquisition price of $1 million.  The buyer might invest $100,000, secure a loan from the SBA for $800,000 and the seller might agree to a seller’s note for the remaining $100,000.  The seller would receive $900,000 of the $1 million purchase price at the time of sale, and would receive the remaining $100,000 according to the terms of the seller’s note. 

Does the SBA require a seller’s note to be on full standby?

Yes. The SBA will require that any seller’s note is on full standby to the SBA’s loan. 

What does full standby mean for a seller’s note?

Full standby for a seller’s note, which is required by the SBA in a business acquisition, means that the SBA loan will need to be repaid in full before the seller can start to be repaid according to the terms of the seller’s note. 

How many years of projections does the SBA require for an SBA acquisition loan?

The SBA will require at least 3 years of financial projections for a business acquisition loan.  They will also require at least the first 18 months of projections to be monthly projections.
