Introduction
Making forecasts for a company that has just started is often a challenging task. This
is because, in order for there to be a prediction, historical data needs to available. Without
historical data that relates to sales, start-up needs to adopt other forecasting approaches since
without the data, the firm is doomed to fail. Forecasting helps companies to determine the
quantity of production materials that should be procured, the quantity that needs to be
produced and sold. For such a company, the use of customer feedbacks, questionnaires and

approach is best when past data is unavailable (Autry et al., 2013). In this context, the
previous sales data is unavailable since the company is just commencing its operations. Thus,
a major part of the company’s forecasting would be undertaken through the qualitative
approach through the utilization of market surveys and with the involvement of a consumer
panel. Additionally, the Delphi technique which is also under the qualitative forecasting
approach may be used since the predictions are being undertaken for the very first time and
