welcome to part 6 of the small business finance streak for the coming few videos we'll be looking at cash forecasting in this introductory episode I'll describe the different elements of a fiscal calculate and have a quick look at what they tell us when looking at a business newspaper one of the first things you need to ascertain is whether it's reporting what actually have happened in the past or predicting what might happen in the future this might resonate a little self-evident but the reason I drawing it up is that the three elements of the financial forecast I'll be introducing have almost identical equivalents in business reporting whilst reports are expected to be very accurate surely calculating consequently involves a bit of estimating the estimate should be based on historical data information about antagonists mentions from suppliers etc and needs to include the following the likely level of fixed costs for the forecast period things like group incomes and depreciation on paraphernalium variable outlays like raw materials and sides the likely level of capital expenditure on things like equipment equipment systems and here's one that I haven't should be included in a previous video a sales forecast this is a topic that innumerable proprietors have startup organizations are very questionable of so I'll dedicate a future video alone to auctions foreshadowing once we have all that information we can perform some plannings and proliferate the three elements of a monetary prediction it's not always necessary to produce all three thinks now they're displayed with the most commonly used at the top and the least common at the bottom the three approximations all dish different purposes the cash flow forecasts to predict how much silver a business will have throughout the forecast period if a business runs out of money perhaps because patrons are sluggish compensating or it can't get the lend funding it needs to replace equipment then it will abort although they are sales meridians are state hence the cash flow forecast rebuts the following point will it be possible to run the business during the forecast period now it might be possible to continue rolling a endeavour business for some time either by selling its resources or by taking out a lend but alone isn't paying it needs to be paid back eventually so the profit loss account hunts the different question will it be worth running the business during the forecast period the projected balance sheet unlike the previous two prognosis which covered the whole of the forecast period describes precisely one moment in time and in this case the projected balance sheet refutes the issues to what domain will the business are still in financially at the end of the forecast period I'll be dedicating a separate video to each of these financial calculate segments firstly though the next few videos will briefly describe some key concepts that will help you get the most out of business forecasting don't forget to subscribe to the YouTube channel it doesn't expenditure anything and you'll be kept informed whenever a brand-new video is released
