Balance Sheet Template

A balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement, is one of the key financial statements used to check a company’s financial position. It reviews the company’s liabilities, assets, and owners’ equity it’s used to calculate the net worth of the business.

In short, a balance sheet shows what a company owns and what it owes, as well as the amount of shareholder investment. A company’s assets must equal its liabilities + shareholder’s or owner equity.

How to Read a Balance Sheet:

Understanding a company’s balance sheet is important to confirming it has a solid financial position. Usually, when assets are greater than liabilities, this represents a strong financial position. Conversely, when liabilities are greater than assets, this represents a weak financial position and a company with lower value.

A company’s balance sheet can help the owners and managers evaluate its strengths and weaknesses, and make proper plans to move forward.

Balance sheets can help a business find trends and are commonly used when dealing with potential investors, such as banks and vendors.
