Sales forecasting for small businesses
Know what the next few months are likely to look like, so you can plan stock, staff and spending with fewer guesses.
Start a conversationHow I help
Most small businesses already have the data they need: a spreadsheet of sales by day, week or month. The hard part is turning it into a forecast you can trust.
I clean your data, test several forecasting methods on your own history, and keep the one that fits best. You get the forecast with a likely range, not a single number, and a plain explanation of how it was made.
Good fit: A spreadsheet with a date column and a numbers column, such as monthly sales, weekly orders or daily visits, is enough to start. More history usually helps.
What you get
- Your data cleaned and checked, with notes on anything odd I found
- Forecasts for the periods you need, each with a likely range
- A comparison of several methods, so the choice is based on your data and not on guesswork
- A simple report or Power BI dashboard you can read without a data background
- A short note on the assumptions, and how to update the forecast with new numbers
Work I have done
My published paper compares statistical, machine learning and deep learning approaches on one forecasting task. I use the same careful, side-by-side approach on business data.

Questions
What data do I need?
A list of dates with a number for each, such as monthly sales. A CSV or Excel file is fine. Tell me about promotions, price changes or one-off events too, since they affect the numbers.
How accurate will the forecast be?
It depends on your data. I test several methods on the most recent part of your history and show you the error, so you can see how far to trust the result before you use it.
Do you build dashboards too?
Yes. I build Power BI dashboards and reports, so the forecast can sit next to your other numbers.
