To improve your financial projections for acquisitions, you can use multiple scenarios and sensitivity analysis to account for uncertainty and variability, industry standards and benchmarks to validate and compare, and external sources and experts to verify and refine. This can help you make better decisions and increase your chances of success in acquiring another company. For instance, creating a base case, best case, and worst case scenario can show how they differ in terms of valuation, cash flow, and risk. Additionally, you could use the average growth rate, margin, or multiple of your industry or peer group to get an idea of how the target company and the combined company would stack up. Finally, market research, customer feedback, or financial advisors can provide more data on the target company and industry.
