When creating a business plan for the Level 4 Certificate in Developing a New Business Plan (fast-track) course, it is essential to include comprehensive financial projections to demonstrate the viability and potential success of your business idea. Here are the key financial projections that should be included:

| Profit and Loss Statement | Summary of the business's revenue, costs, and expenses to determine profitability. |
| Cash Flow Projection | Forecast of the cash inflows and outflows to ensure the business has enough liquidity to operate. |
