Budget Template for Small Businesses

By Chaitanya on Nov 11 under Small Business, p2w2

I run a small business and I have this need to know that I am in control when it comes to my finances. I want to make sure my business is profitable and that my cash flows are okay and that I am going to pay my employees their salaries and pay for my bills. So I made a template for myself. I am sharing this on this blog so that others who face the same problem as I can use it.

The features I like about this is the ability to track profitability, budget and actual, as well as cash flows in one place. There’s a dashboard that gives me the profitability status as of now. I liked making it. I hope it is useful. Please drop in your suggestions and comments in the comments section. You can click on the icon below to download the Budget Template.

    You have done a great job on this template. It is very easy to read, understand and most important of all, easy for the small business owner to use. We need documents like this, to give us a snapshot of our business and to help guide us in our business growth.

    Thanks so much!

    Great template Chaitanya – it is not easy to make somthing so simple. Another great template to gauge how much a small business has tied up inventory is available online at phitch.com – it tells you if things are getting out of hand and if a technology solution can help.

    Looks Promising with few important things missing. This is only for one month. Usually a month on month thing is more useful for operating a business. Charts – comparing profits/losses with the operating costs and margins is missing. But, I must appreciate the simplicity. Keep working :)
