A balance sheet is the last of the three financial reports that are required reading in every business plan, and provides a snapshot view of your business' financial situation at a specific time only. This means that your balance sheet can differ greatly from day to day, or month to month, although most businesses only need to create a balance sheet once a year. Balance sheets used in business plans are called pro forma balance sheets, and essentially take the information in the income statement and cash flow projection and compile them into one, easy-to-read document.
Why Do I Need a Balance Sheet?
The income statement only shows a portion of a businesses' financial picture. Perhaps there are excellent profits being made, but what about its debt load? (i.e. is the business holding too debt much in relation to its profit?) As well, the other financial statements don't give a good enough view to a bank manager or loan company just how solvent a company is (meaning: what ability the business has to liquidate its assets to potentially pay off its debts). A strong balance sheet equates to a better lending risk.
