The cash flow statement is probably the most important tool for determining business survival.
Cash flow is a measure of the difference between cash receipts and cash expenditures.
If you understand how and when money flows into and out of your business, then you are able to make cash flow projections. These projections will help you determine how much cash you will have available at a given time and how much cash you will need to receive in order to cover expenditures. The next section will allow you to enter actual figures or estimates to create a cash flow statement. The statement can be printed out and kept for your files. The ID number at the bottom of the page can be used in the future to retrieve your previously created statements .
