Your balance sheet shows:

A balance sheet is a snapshot of your business’s financial position at a specific point in time. It’s one of the three essential financial statements (alongside your income statement and cash flow statement) that shows what you own (assets), what you owe (liabilities), and your stake in the business (equity).

Whether you're applying for a loan, planning a big decision, or reviewing performance, your balance sheet answers the question: "What is my business worth right now?"

Successful businesses check their balance sheet regularly to manage risk, monitor performance, and make smarter financial decisions.

Total value of everything your business owns

All debts and obligations your business owes

Your actual ownership stake in the business

Whether you're in a strong position to grow, invest, or borrow

The numbers banks and investors look for

What your business owes to others.  

Current Liabilities (due within a year):

• Accounts payable (bills you owe)
• Credit card balances
• Short-term loan payments
• Payroll and tax obligations
• Unearned revenue (customer prepayments)

Long-term Liabilities

• Business loans
• Mortgages
• Equipment financing
• Long-term lease obligations

Everything your business owns that has value. 

Current Assets (convertable to cash within a year):

• Cash in bank accounts
• Accounts receivable (money customers owe you)
• Inventory you can sell
• Prepaid expenses (like insurance)
• Long-term Assets:

Equipment and machinery

• Buildings and land
• Company vehicles
• Long-term investments
• Intangible assets (patents, trademarks)

Your stake in the business—what’s left after subtracting liabilities from assets.

• Owner’s investment
• Retained earnings
• Additional capital from partners or investors
• Profit or loss for the current year

This formula is the foundation of your balance sheet. It ensures everything is accounted for—what your business owns must equal what it owes and what’s been invested.

Example: 

Assets: $100,000 = Liabilities: $60,000 + Equity: $40,000

If your assets go up and your liabilities go down, your equity grows—showing a healthier business.

1. Set up your categories in the Chart of Accounts sheet:

• List your asset accounts (cash, inventory, equipment)
• Add your liability accounts (loans, credit cards, bills)
• Include equity items (owner's investment, retained earnings)

2. Enter your transactions

• Enter each transaction
• Add the date, a clear description of the item or service
• Select a category from the dropdown menu
• Record the amount paid or received

3. Generate your balance sheet

• Enter the reporting start date
• The sheet calculates totals automatically
• View your assets, liabilities, and equity in one place
• Share the report with investors, lenders, or your team

The template automatically ensures your assets equal your liabilities plus equity.
