5 key steps to plan your cash flow in the coming year

Many neglect financial projections
Making cash flow and other financial projections each year is a vital tool for keeping your business healthy and on a sustainable growth path.

The idea is to have a reference you can review through the year, so you can make adjustments as needed.

How to make financial projections?
1. Plan your year
First, think about what you want to accomplish over the next 12 months. This should be based on your strategic plan for your business.

With a clear idea of what you want to achieve, start estimating your annual expenses and consider the additional costs you will incur to implement your business strategy. These expenses should be added to the costs of running your day-to-day business, such as:
• payroll
• rent
• utilities
• interest
• loan repayments

Next, estimate your annual sales and think about the effect your decisions will have on your cash flow forecast. Make sure you take into consideration your credit policy and when your customers pay to ensure your business has enough cash throughout its business year.

2. Make projections
Based on past experience and your plans for the coming year, prepare these three documents.
• A projected income (profit-loss) statement—Projected revenues, costs, expenses, taxes, etc.
• A projected balance sheet—Assets, liabilities, equity.
• Monthly cash-flow projections—Accounts receivable, accounts payable, investments, financing, etc.

3. Arrange financing
With your projections in hand, determine financing needs for the coming year and discuss them with your bankers and other financial partners. Also, don’t make the common mistake of dipping into your working capital for long-term capital investments because you may end up facing a cash crunch. It’s better to use long-term financing for such projects.

4. Monitor and adjust
Finally, review your projections each month against the actual numbers to see if you’re on track. Variances can flag trouble spots in your business. Take an even closer look each quarter. Make any needed adjustments to your operations or changes in your planning.

5. Get help
Depending on your in-house resources, consider seeking outside help in creating your financial projections and monitoring your progress through the year.

On June 12, 2022, Done Like Dinner and Maddhatters will be hosting a “Chicken Wing Eating Contest” as a charity event. Proceeds from this event will be going towards Peace Autism Society.

For this event, we are looking for sponsors that would like to donate $50 or $100. This would help towards the cost of t-shirts for the contestants as well as a promotional video of the event.

Businesses that donate $50 to the event will be listed on the back of the t-shirts or in the credits at the end of the video. Businesses that donate $100 will be on both as well as many shoutouts on Facebook and Instagram up until the date of the event.

Any proceeds left over from the donations will be donated to the Peace Autism Society.

We hope to turn this into an annual event and encourage you to join us and cheer on the contestants. We will also be putting together a bucket of goodies for the winner, (gift cards, set of hot sauces, etc.).

If you are interested in donating to this event, please do not hesitate to contact me. My phone number is 587-343-6209 or email donelikedinnerab@gmail.com The deadline to donate will be May 20, 2022.
