Are you forecasting revenue? Valuing a company? Or assessing the viability of an investment? The purpose will guide the structure and assumptions you make in the model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gather_Historical_Data\"><\/span><strong>Gather Historical Data<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Collect the financial data that will serve as the foundation for your model.
