Money which the business owner invests into the business. Typically these
funds come from a variety of sources including, the owners personal
savings and money gifted from family members. Personal loans and Lines
of Credit do not apply because the money is owed to someone else.
Money the owner plans to withdraw from the business to cover their
personal expenses. It's important that the owner takes into account what
will be required each month to pay for personal expenses like: debt
payments, housing costs and general living expenses. We also consider the
contributions of spouses and part-time or other income.
Items or services already bought to start the business. These costs are
listed separately from the start-up costs on the Futurpreneur cash-flow
template.
Items and property that cannot immediately be converted into cash.
Examples: buildings, furniture, equipment, machines and vehicles.
Regular expenses that have to be paid regardless of how busy or active the
business is. Items like regular salaries, rent, insurance are all examples of
fixed costs.
Many personal insurances policies offer limited or no protection for the

professional about what type and amount of insurance will be beneficial for
your business.

After you have paid all of your expected expenses and received all of your
expected income in a given period of time, the money left over is your
cumulative cash. Think of this as money left in your business bank account
at the end of each month. The cumulative cash-flow on your Futurpreneur
monthly cash-flow can never be negative. That would mean you have
spent more money than you plan on having available at the end of the
month.
A table that lists all of your expected costs and all of your expected income
over a period of time. We request a 24-month cash-flow when applying to
our Start-up Program. The first month shown should be the month the loan
is put in your bank account.
Money you have available to make purchases to start and maintain your
business.
Objects or items that can be converted (sold) into cash.
