Why a cash forecast

Profit and cash aren't the same. A business can sell well and still run out of cash because clients pay late, stock is bought in advance or tax falls due in the same month. A 12-month forecast shows the tight months early, while there's still time to act.

How to fill it in

  • Count money when it actually arrives or leaves, not when you invoice.
  • Put seasonal months in: the quiet summer, the busy December, the annual insurance.
  • Include your own pay: if the business can't pay you, that's a cash problem too.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between cash flow and profit?

Profit counts sales and costs when they're earned or incurred; cash flow counts money when it actually moves. Late payments create the gap.

What if a month goes negative?

Act before it happens: chase invoices, delay a purchase, ask a supplier for terms or arrange short-term financing.

How often should I update it?

Monthly: replace the forecast with actual figures and extend it by a month.
