Devise Your Revenue Model

A sustainable business relies on consistent cash flow from multiple income streams. Your revenue model defines your income streams and the volume of revenue expected from each. These streams can include your products and services, plus other income sources that are available to support your overall business revenue.

When you devise your sustainable revenue model, your business:

  • Carries lower risk of poor cash flow
  • Is more responsive to external and internal changes
  • Has more consistent income based on a diversity of products + services

Creating your revenue model is just the beginning, the next step is to use it to forecast your monthly revenue and use these figures to forecast your cash flow, your revenue minus expenses. A healthy business has a healthy cash flow and now is the time to lay the foundation for the next 12 months of steadily growing profit.
