Cash flow projection template for business plan
Most business plans consist of a text part which elaborates on the nature of the business, the stakeholders, customers, competitors, products and so forth and a financial part which is based on the cash flow projections for your business plan.
While Microsoft Excel is the prefect solution for the financial part of the business plan, it really is not the best solution for the text part. Text based solutions like Microsoft Word just provides better text alignment and formatting options to be able to create a business plan which looks really professional.
There are a lot of business plan software solutions on the market, some of which can be purchased at reasonably affordable prices but for most people, creating a business plan is not something that you would do frequently and also mostly when setting up a business when cash flow is limited and you may prefer to not spend too much on once-off use software.
In terms of the text part of the business plan, you may just want to use Microsoft Word and just link the financial part to a cash flow projection template. You should be able to search online to get the main points that you need to write about in the text part but for most people, the cash flow projection part will not be that simple especially if you need to compile financial projections for a bank in order to obtain a business loan.
Need Annual Financial Statements?
We do not sell any Word templates as this is not our area of expertise but when it comes to creating financial forecasts, we probably provide some of the most comprehensive cash flow projection templates for business plans.
The premise of the design of all our cash flow projection templates is that the user enters some basic user assumption values and sets monthly income and expense values and we then compile comprehensive, automated (as far as possible) cash flow projections based on these values which includes an income statement, cash flow statement and balance sheet.
This is the type of financial reports that banks want and we also provide various options in terms of forecast periods so that you will be able to provide weekly, monthly or annual cash flow projections. Our most popular cash flow template is our cash flow - business plan forecast template which includes 12 monthly periods and 5 annual periods.
All our template prices are affordable, once-off prices and you will have full access to all formulas which means that you can edit our existing template and add additional calculations if you need to. You can also use the templates for multiple businesses by simply saving the file under a new file name each time that you need to create a new business plan.
