Writing the Business Plan: The Financial Plan The Cash Flow Projection The Cash Flow Projection shows how cash is expected to flow in and out of your business. For you, it's an important tool for cash flow management, letting you know when your expenditures are too high or when you might want to arrange short term investments to deal with a cash flow surplus. As part of your business plan, a Cash Flow Projection will give you a much better idea of how much capital investment your business idea needs. For a bank loans officer, the Cash Flow Projection offers evidence that your business is a good credit risk and that there will be enough cash on hand to make your business a good candidate for a line of credit or short term loan. Do not confuse a Cash Flow Projection with a Cash Flow Statement. The Cash Flow Statement shows how cash has flowed in and out of your business.

The third part of the Cash Flow Projection is the Reconciliation of Cash Revenues to Cash Disbursements.

The current month's Revenues are added to this balance; the current month's Disbursements are subtracted, and the adjusted cash flow balance is carried over to the next month. Where: CASH FLOW = TOTAL CASH REVENUES - TOTAL CASH DISBURSEMENTS OPENING CASH BALANCE = CLOSING CASH BALANCE from the previous month CLOSING CASH BALANCE = OPENING CASH BALANCE + CASH FLOW Once again, to use this template for your own business, you will need to delete and add the appropriate Revenue and Disbursement categories that apply to your own business. The main danger when putting together a Cash Flow Projection is being over optimistic about your projected sales.
