About the cash flow forecasting template

A cash flow forecast is the most important business tool for every business. The forecast will tell you if your business will have enough cash to run the business or pay to expand it. It will also show you when more cash is going out of the business than in.

Our cash flow forecasting template is an Excel spreadsheet that you can use to forecast and record cash flow. The worksheet will update your figures as you type.

The template has 4 tabs:

• example cash flow worksheet
• details estimated cash flow
• summary estimate cash flow
• estimated versus actual results
