How To Make A Cash Flow Statement
The inflow and outflow of money for your business is called cash flow. This can be positive or negative — if it’s positive, that means that there’s more inflow than outflow, which is ideal. To come up with your business's cash flow projections, you need to create a cash flow statement. This helps you, and your investors, determine whether your small business is on a solid financial footing. At the end of this training, you'll be able to create your very own cash flow statement and get a handle on your business finances. Note: This training was pre-recorded and is presented by the A-B Tech Small Business Center.
