Four-year projections

Where financial projections are filled in, why they do not travel in ENISA's template, and what we check about them before anyone sees them.

Updated on

The four-year financial projections ENISA asks for do not travel in its financial statements template: you work on them in enisa.ai's Proyecciones tab and then type them, row by row, into ENISA's portal. By the end you will know where each thing is filled in: what goes in the template, what goes in your workspace, and what you will have to type into the portal.

An important expectation

ENISA's official financial statements template covers historical years only. The four-year projections do not travel in that file: in ENISA's portal they are entered directly into its form, row by row. No file you export from here can fill them in for you.

Even so, it pays to work on them in your workspace first. The reason: the checks.

Filling in the projections in your workspace

  1. Open the Financieros tab and, inside it, the Proyecciones tab.
  2. Fill in the projected lines per year: revenue, supplies, personnel costs, projected headcount, investments, collection and payment periods, capital increases, debt…
  3. Press Guardar. The consistency checks are recomputed on every change.
  4. The assumptions commentary in the projections section is drafted by the AI from your numbers, in the Solicitud tab, and you can edit it like any other answer.

What we check about your projections

This is where most applications stumble, so the checks are strict:

  • The first projected year links up with the last historical year (opening equity matches the closing balance).
  • The ENISA debt increase in year one matches the requested amount.
  • The declared capital increase agrees with the one in the investment plan.
  • Collection and payment periods are consistent with closing receivables and payables given your sales and purchases — the two figures founders most often invent, and the first ones an analyst checks.
  • The average cost per employee (personnel costs ÷ projected headcount) is plausible.
  • The loan repayment is consistent with a realistic amortisation schedule.

A contradiction between two of your figures is a blocking finding: you will not be able to export or send to review until it is resolved, because it is exactly what would make ENISA return the file.

When you file

Once the application is reviewed and you export the files, you will type the projections into ENISA's portal form by copying them from your Proyecciones tab, already checked and consistent with the rest of the file.

Common issues

Shouldn't the projections be inside the exported Excel?

The exported file is ENISA's official template, and that template only holds historical years. It is a limitation of ENISA's format, not a gap in the file.

Do I really have to project four years?

Yes: ENISA's form asks for them. Project with assumptions you can defend from your track record — the assumptions commentary exists precisely to explain them.
