Forecasting revenue-only streams Follow

The revenue-only stream is suitable for any situation, including revenue you have forecast in detail elsewhere or that doesn't fit the other revenue stream options here. For example, if you have already prepared a detailed revenue forecast in an Excel spreadsheet, you can enter just the revenue totals into LivePlan so that those details appear in your business plan.
