Cash Flow Statement Guide FAQ's
What is a cash flow statement?
A cash flow statement tracks the actual cash moving into and out of your business over a period of time, showing where money came from and where it went.
Profit is what is left on paper after expenses. Cash flow is the real money in your bank account. A store can show a profit but still run short on cash if money is tied up in inventory or unpaid commissions.
How is cash flow different from profit?
Why do profitable stores still run out of cash?
Because profit and cash are not the same. If revenue is tied up in inventory, or commission payouts arrive weeks after a sale, the store can owe rent and payroll before that cash arrives.
How can I improve my store's cash flow?
Keep inventory lean, collect what you are owed promptly, track when commission payments actually arrive, and keep a cash cushion to cover fixed costs during slow periods.
