International currency symbol on all reports – £, $ and € (or any other currency)

We have customers around the globe, so it’s important to include the facility to change the currency displayed on the reports. This is easily done from the information tab on the cash flow forecast template.

Bank loan or hire purchase accounts

Many times cash flow forecasts are prepared for the purpose of obtaining either bank finance or for receiving investment from an investor.

Therefore the need to have a loan and hire purchase facility built-in is important. The loans function within Cash Forecaster has a great many functions; which include:

• Flexibility of when the loan starts. This includes loan repayment holidays;
• Set the loan rate of interest;
• The ability to charge the interest cost either to the loan or directly to the cash flow forecast;
• To set loan lump down payments in the forecast period;
• Setting the loan term;
• Fix your own loan repayment amount or use the automatic loan repayment calculator.

20 product/sales lines with associated cost of sales lines

Projected sales income

Having the ability to split-out projected sales between various products or service types is important.

The reason why this is important is as follows:

• To take account of the varying payment terms between the different product or service types;
• To account for varying VAT (Sales Tax) rates for each sales type; and
• Where applicable, to account for the different factoring (or invoice financing) rates applicable to different income types.

Our cash flow forecasting template incorporates all of these features across twenty different sales lines.

Projected cost of sales

As with forecasting sales data, projected cost of sales sometimes needs to be split between different types of purchase from different suppliers.

Our cash flow forecasting template includes up to twenty lines for your cost of sales. You can break this down between your different suppliers or types of cost of sale.

This is important for the following reasons:

• You can take account of different supplier payment terms;
• Set different in VAT (Sales Tax) rates for each product cost; and
• Set your cost of sales to include payroll costs, where applicable, which require payroll tax entries.

Cash Forecaster incorporates all these features across 20 cost of sales lines.

Automatic overdraft interest or deposit interest calculations

Many times a cash flow forecast is prepared to calculate the amount of overdraft facility is required for working capital for a business. Where an overdraft is required and where the cash flow projections dip into an overdraft position, it’s important to be able to calculate the amount of interest this will cost for the amount of overdraft forecast to be used.

This is another useful feature that’s built into our cash flow forecast template. All that’s required for you to do is to enter the overdraft interest rate, and the template calculates the interest for you, which is based upon the level of overdraft forecast.

Flexible customer payment terms

We have built-in a wide range of customer payment terms. This ranges from allowing up to 12 months credit terms and all the way through to up to 24 months advanced payment terms.

Customers with credit terms

With the credit terms, you have the option to set each of the separate sales lines to a different payment term of up to 12 months forward. Of course for any small business, we work towards keeping our customer payment terms to as short a period as possible, however, some businesses allow for longer times to pay.

This is especially true for businesses that have to allow for customer-retention’s, which can be anything up to the full 12 months.

Customers who pay in cash or by credit or debit card

In addition to having the feature to allow credit terms for customer payments, you can also set these terms to ‘cash’ terms where customers pay right away. This includes payments by credit or debit card, and where a sales line is allocated to credit card payments, the cash forecast template will automatically calculate the credit card charge too.

Prepaid or advanced sales feature

Finally, the cash flow  forecast template includes prepaid sales income too. You can set the payment term from anything from one month advanced payment through to 24 months in advance.

Flexible supplier payment terms

The in-built supplier payment terms function removes the difficult calculations of when and what to include on either the cash flow forecast report or on the profit and loss report. Plus what is also shown on the projected balance sheet at the end of each month of the cash flow forecast period.

Most businesses arrange credit with their suppliers. Supplier credit terms mostly fall in the range of between 30 days to 120 days. However, occasionally, we need to be able to enter extended credit terms for suppliers.

The payment terms include in our cash flow forecast template range from ‘cash’ or immediate payment terms, through to 12 month supplier payment terms.

Credit card charge calculations

As already mentioned it’s possible to set any sales income you forecast to receive that is paid by either debit or credit card. Where this is the case, credit and debit card payments are subject to a service charge.

This is easy to take account of by simply entering the credit card rate and setting which sales income credit card charges apply, and the cash flow forecast template calculates the rest for you, and it includes the correct amounts on the various cash flow forecast and profit and loss forecast reports.

VAT, Sales Tax and GST terms

Where a business has to account for VAT (Sales Tax) or GST in Australia and New Zealand, it’s important to make these entries as easy to deal with as possible. Our cash flow forecast template achieves this by allowing the you to easily select a VAT (Sales Tax) rate for each sales line, cost of sales line and overhead line, and the template does all the hard calculation for you.

These sometimes complex calculations are all done simultaneously, as you enter your data. The template calculates on which report to include the either net or gross of VAT (Sales Tax) amounts,  and where to enter the VAT (Sales Tax) itself. Plus including the balance owed at the end of each period on the relevant projected balance sheet too.

Payroll taxes and wages deductions

The payroll tax feature makes it quick and easy to split your employee costs between what’s paid to the employee and what’s paid to the government in taxes.

Where your small business employs people, there are the dreaded payment taxes to take account of. This means that a percentage of the wages cost is paid directly to the employee and the balance is paid to the government in the form of taxes.

In the UK this is referred to as Pay As You Earn or PAYE. As the time of these payments affects forecast cash flows, it’s important to split out the different timings of the net pay vs the payroll tax element of wages costs.

Our cash flow forecast template does these calculations for you. All you have to do is to enter the gross wage cost and select a payroll tax rate, and the forecast template calculates the rest for you.

These calculations include the timings of where and when to include the employees net pay versus the government payroll tax element on the cash flow forecast report. Plus of course the inclusion of any closing balance at the end of each forecast period on the projected balance sheet.

Company/Corporation tax calculator

Save time with the built-in company tax feature, which provides a simple and fast way to include tax payments into your cash flow forecasts. This you saves time and a few headaches. All you have to do is select the month the tax is paid in and the template does the rest.

If you would like to include the complexities of corporation tax calculations, Cash Forecaster includes this feature, and includes the following functionality:

• An on/off switch to include the feature or not if you choose to have the feature or not.
• The ability to adjust when the taxis paid, which can be adjusted for each forecast period separately.
• The feature to either spread the tax between each of the months on the profit and loss forecast, or to include it in a single month.
• Tax adjustments so you can change the actual profit to taxable profit by entering either add-backs or deductions from actual profits.
• Tax rate adjustments, which can be changed for each of the separate forecast periods.
• Carry back of carry forward of any losses in the forecast period to be set against profits to reduce tax liabilities.

Fixed assets and depreciation rates

Most small businesses either already have fixed assets or intend to purchase fixed assets during the forecast period. Fixed assets like freehold or leasehold properties, motor vehicles, equipment, computers and fixtures and fittings.

Projected fixed asset purchases

Cash Forecaster is setup so that any fixed asset purchases or disposals are quick and easy to enter. With our cash flow forecast template, you don’t have to worry about how to include the various entries that apply when you purchase an asset, the template does all this for you. These entries include:

• The type of fixed asset with a choice of up to eight different types.
• The cost of the asset.
• VAT (Sales Tax) rate for the fixed asset where applicable.
• Month of the purchase, where it’s a new asset bought.
• Month of sale, where the asset is disposed of.
• Proceeds on sale.
• Any depreciation up to the date of sale.

‘Cost of sale’ or above the line depreciation on fixed assets

Within the eight fixed asset types there are also two ‘cost of sale’ fixed assets. This means that where these asset types are selected, the depreciation is automatically included within cost of sales on the forecast profit and loss.

Additionally, the profit or loss on any fixed asset disposals in the forecast period can be selected to be included above the line, or in cost of sales too.

Forecast fixed asset depreciation

Most fixed assets are depreciated. Where they are depreciated, this depreciation is charged to the profit and loss.

Our cash flow forecast template includes this calculation, which is done automatically for you. It’s extremely easy to set the different depreciation rates applicable to the individual fixed asset types. Once set, the appropriate depreciation amount is included on the profit and loss report and the accumulated depreciation is included on the project balance sheet too.

Where assets are sold during the forecast period, the amount of depreciation that has accumulated to that date is taken into account on the projected profit and loss report within the profit or loss on sale of that fixed asset.

Stock and work in progress

Businesses that account for either stock and/or work in progress need to include these entries on cash and profit forecasts.

Our cash flow forecast template includes up to six stock lines. These stock lines can be adjusted either up or down at the end of each month of the forecast period.

These stock adjustments makes sure the cost of sales figures are accurate. Having the ability to include stock, means that the timings and amount of forecast product purchases can be correctly reflected in the cash flow forecast. Thereby making sure that the correct projected working capital requirements are calculated too.

Sensitivity analysis tool

When preparing cash flow forecasts and profit and loss forecasts, it’s important to run what-if best case and worst case scenarios. However, the last thing you want to be doing is to be entering the data over and again for each different scenario.

This is why we’ve incorporated a ‘what-if’ scenario function. With this feature it’s extremely easy to adjust either up or down by any percentage the sales or cost of sales of the projections. With the click of a button and an entry of a percentage, you’ll be able to adjust sales and cost of sale independently. So you could separately reduce sales by say 10% and increase cost of sales by say 5%. Or any other combination of your choice.

This allows you the ability to prepare multiple reports very quickly,with your best-case and worst-case scenarios, which is something that most banks and investors like to see. Some don’t like to show a worst case scenario for fear of not obtaining the loan or investment, however, by pre-preparing these best and worst case scenarios, not only is that good practice for you as a company to review, but it also comes across extremely well to a bank and an investor.

Better informed lending or investment decisions though the use of best-case and worst-case scenarios

It allows the bank or the investor to make a better informed decision about either the lending or investment proposition. Also, being planned in this way is being fore-armed too. By running the various what-if scenarios, you’ll be able to incorporate these into your business plan too and explain the likelihood of any of these scenarios happening.

You’ll be ready for the questions and have already prepared answers to the likelihood of any of these scenarios happening in the forecast period.

Owner dividends or drawings/capital introduced or director/partner loans

I’m not sure I’ve come across a small business that doesn’t have a directors loan account. So of course this feature is included in Cash Forecaster too. There’s an easy data template to enter the month and the amount of the directors loan or the repayment of their loan for up to six directors/shareholders.

Other debtors, other creditors and other income

There are sometimes cases where a business has other debtors or other creditors, as well as other sundry income. These are also dealt within the cash flow forecast template with a straight forward data entry template.

With the other income, you can set the payment terms on this for any period of up to 12 months credit in a similar way to sales income. The other income also has the feature of setting the VAT (Sales Tax) percentage for the type of income. There are three other income types to work with too.

Opening balances facility

The ability to enter your opening numbers forms part of the cash flow forecast process. Opening balances on your bank, customer balances or supplier amounts owed can all be entered in an easy opening balance template.

Where a business is not a startup business, this function may not necessarily be needed, unless the business has already begun trading at the point of preparing the cash flow forecasts. In which case, even for a startup cash flow forecast, the opening balance function can be used.

Factoring or Invoice discounting feature

One method for a small business to raise capital is through invoice financing, or better known as factoring. The factoring feature, which is built into the cash flow forecast template, is extremely flexible and includes the following useful functionality:

• Businesses not already using invoice financing can set the month in which they intend to start using factoring. This feature will allow you to see the affect switching to invoice financing has on your cash flow forecasts.
• Businesses already using factoring can use the invoice financing feature to prepare accurate forecasts that reflect the way they receive customer payments via a factoring company.
• Businesses that are already using factoring, as a way to provide faster cash flow to their small business, can use our cash flow forecast template to see the affect on future cash flows and working capital where the invoicing finance facility is cancelled.
• Another possibility is that, as the cash flow forecast template will forecast cash flows for up to 7 years, you also have the ability to see the affect of introducing factoring and then cancelling the facility a few years down the track.

Features included in the factoring facility

The invoice financing feature included in Cash Forecaster has a number of features, as follows:

• The ability to switch headings between factoring or invoice discounting.
• To set the interest rate and service charge levels
• The month in which factoring starts
• Whether the customer balances at the start of the month in which factoring commences to be factored, or advanced.
• Set the percentage of the opening balance that is ‘factorable.’ Plus set how much the factor company will advance. Both these percentages can be set anywhere between zero and 100%.
• The percentage of each sales line that is factorable and how much will be advanced too.
• The month in which factoring ends.

Accruals and prepayment feature

The ability to use accruals and prepayments in a cash flow and profit forecast is key to accuracy in reflecting the correct profit or loss, whilst at the same time forecasting the correct cash flows too.

Eight prepayment lines

There are up to eight prepayment lines, which can be allocated to separate overhead expense lines. These are easy to enter and adjust at the click of a few buttons.to easily adjust your forecasts to tie in with payment timings and what’s charged to the profit and loss.

Ten accrual lines which includes the ability to accrue cost of sales

Included in the cash flow forecast template are up to ten accruals lines. The reason for more accruals than prepayments is that you have the ability to accrue for both overheads and cost of sales.

Accruing for cost of sales is an essential feature for construction companies that are preparing cash flow forecasts. The ability for a construction company to reflect the true construction costs in the correct forecast period is an essential part of a construction company’s business planning.

It’s easy to set the expense or cost of sales line the accrual affects and to enter the amount of the accrual in the relevant month of adjustment.

The accruals and prepayment feature allows you to enter accurate amounts relevant to particular expenses and when they appear in the business’s cash flows, and then use this facility to adjust what and in which month the expense falls on the projected profit and loss report.

Flexible headings

All the headings come with default text, but each of the headings text can be changed to suit your business.

Popular forecast periods

It’s quick and simple to choose the length of the forecast period you require. Followed by entering your data, to have professional reports suitable for banks, directors, company shareholders and investors, all done within a very short space of time of downloading this cash flow forecasting program.

It would seem that the more popular forecast periods for a small business cash flow forecast are somewhere between a 12 month cash flow forecast, a 3 year cash flow forecast and a 5 year cash flow forecast.

Our cash flow forecast template has been setup so that you can quickly and easily switch between the length of reports you want to include. The periods available for all the reports is anything between 12 moths and 85 months or 7 year forecasts.
