Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Projected Financials and a DPR?
Projected financials are the financial statements only (P&L, BS, CF). A DPR is the full project document that contains projected financials plus market study, technical feasibility, regulatory analysis, SWOT etc. Banks for working-capital often need only projections; for term-loan they need a full DPR.
Are your projections accepted by banks in Pune?
Yes. Our projections are issued in PNB-59 / SBI-CMA-2018 / Canara / HDFC / ICICI MSME formats and are routinely accepted by appraising branches in Pune. CA-certificate with UDIN is included where required.
How long do projections take to prepare?
3-5 working days for a 3-5 year projection from receipt of promoter inputs, historical financials (if existing business) and assumption guidance call. Bank-format conversion adds 1-2 days.
Can projections be used for investor pitch decks?
Yes. We deliver a "founder narrative" version (high-level summary slides) plus a "data-room" version (full Schedule III with assumption sheets) for investor diligence. Cap-table, runway, burn-rate, unit-economics modules included on request.
Will the projections work for visa applications?
Yes — UK Innovator/Founder, Canada SUV, USA E-2/EB-5, and Australia 188 visa applications routinely accept our CA-certified 5-year projections as financial-viability proof.
Do you serve Pune-based clients?
Yes. Virtual Auditor scopes projection engagements for Pune businesses from our offices in Chennai, Bengaluru and Mumbai. Secure data-room workflow; weekly status updates. Call +91 99622 60333.
Projected Financial Statements in Pune — The Full Methodology
A projection is only as useful as the assumptions it rests on. For Pune-based businesses, we anchor every line item in the projection to a defensible source — historical actuals (where the business has them), benchmark data from comparable Pune-region peers (where it doesn't), or industry studies from CRISIL/ICRA/IBEF for sector-specific items. The deliverable is a 3-5-year P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash-Flow Statement, fully linked through assumption sheets that any banker, investor or auditor can interrogate line-by-line.
Revenue Build-Up
Revenue is built bottom-up — capacity (units or revenue-units), capacity-utilisation ramp (typical: year-1 50-60%, year-2 65-75%, year-3 onwards 75-85%), realisation per unit (with explicit price-escalation assumption tied to CPI/WPI for the Pune sector cluster), and net-of-discount/return adjustments. SaaS and subscription businesses build revenue off MRR/ARR with cohort retention and net-revenue-retention modelling. Project-led businesses (construction, EPC) follow the percentage-of-completion method under Ind AS 115. Our model documents which method, why, and how it reconciles to historical actuals.
Cost Structure — Variable, Semi-Variable and Fixed
Raw-material cost is benchmarked against three competing supplier quotations and tracked as a percentage of revenue. Employee cost includes gross salary, ESI/EPF (12% + 13% employer share), gratuity provision (4.81% per Payment of Gratuity Act 1972), bonus (8.33% statutory minimum where applicable), and leave-encashment provision under AS 15 / Ind AS 19. Finance cost is amortised against the proposed term-loan tenor with declining-balance interest computation. Depreciation is computed under Companies Act Schedule II (for Schedule III financials) and Income-tax Act Section 32 / Rule 5 (for tax projections) — these will differ, and reconciliation is shown.
Balance Sheet Linkage
The Balance Sheet must reconcile to the rupee with the P&L (retained earnings) and the Cash-Flow (cash & cash-equivalents). Equity capital is built from share-issuance assumptions (primary, ESOP-pool dilution, anti-dilution true-ups). Term-debt is amortised against repayment schedule. Working capital is built from holding norms — DSO (debtor-days), DPO (creditor-days), DIO (inventory-days) — calibrated to Pune sector cycles rather than generic industry. Fixed-asset additions and disposals link to the Cash-Flow investing section.
Cash-Flow Statement (Indirect Method, Ind AS 7)
Operating cash-flow is built from PAT + non-cash adjustments (depreciation, deferred tax, provisions) ± working-capital changes (Δ debtors, Δ creditors, Δ inventory). Investing covers fixed-asset additions, investments, sale-of-asset receipts. Financing covers term-loan drawals/repayments, equity-issue receipts, dividend payouts, interest paid. The closing cash balance must reconcile to the Balance Sheet line — a discipline that flags 80% of modelling errors before they reach the appraiser.
DSCR, IRR, NPV, Payback and Sensitivity
Average DSCR target ≥ 1.50, minimum DSCR ≥ 1.20 — these are the standard bank covenants. IRR and NPV use a discount rate that reflects the project's weighted-average cost of capital (WACC) — typical Pune-region SME WACC sits in the 14-18% range depending on debt-equity mix. Payback period under both undiscounted and discounted bases. Sensitivity matrix recomputes DSCR/IRR/NPV under: sales-price ±10%, sales-volume ±10%, raw-material cost +10%, interest-rate +200 bps. Tornado-chart visualisation provided for investor decks.
Breakeven and Operating Leverage
Breakeven is reported in three forms: volume (units), value (₹), and capacity utilisation (%). Operating leverage (contribution / EBIT) tells the appraiser how sensitive earnings are to revenue swings. For Pune-region capex-heavy businesses (financial services (BFSI HQs at Mumbai), petrochemicals (Mahul, Trombay), auto (Chakan-Talegaon, Aurangabad) clusters being the typical exemplars), high operating leverage means breakeven utilisation matters a lot — and we model the year-by-year breakeven trajectory rather than a static single-point.
