The cash flow forecast is a forecast table that allows a company to estimate how much money it will receive (cash inflow) and spend (cash outflow) over a specific period of time.
Forecasting and anticipating cash flow is a prerequisite for managing SMBs business with confidence.
In fact, a cash flow plan has several advantages as it allows you to:
-
- Plan the volume of sales that you intend to achieve over the coming months and implement any associated actions
- Understand and anticipate your company’s low cash flow periods, allowing you to avoid overdraft fees and even defaulting on payments
- Have a better overview of your expenses, potentially enabling you to reduce business costs and save money
- Use it as a decision-making tool: you can adjust your cash flow plan to see how a purchase or a hiring would impact your cash flow
