Starling Business Account: Forecast Annual Income - Why?

I recently received an in-app notification from Starling that they'd increased my forecast Business Account income for the next year to over £50,000. I've just worked out what my actual income was for the 12 months prior to this notification, and it was just over £41,000. Is it worth me asking them to correct this, or could it actually end up working against me? (And if so, why?) If it's simply so that they can put a number in a box, I suppose it doesn't really matter. Thanks.

    If it's a forecast it's not using this years figures.

    Were your previous tax years increasing each year thus it might be realistic? 

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
