When making up a balance sheet, you’ll want to look for at least one balance sheet example. We have several free templates, some with examples, on this page that you can look at to gain a clearer understanding of what it’s all about. To understand your balance sheet, you should have some basic knowledge of business accounting. It will be useful when looking at your business’s debits and credits. These are the numbers that you want to balance. A basic formula to remember in accounting is Assets = Liabilities + Equity. Most balance sheets will be organized into three sections. These section will contain 3 subtotals, one for assets, one for liabilities and, if relevant, equity.
By this time, you should have finished filling out your balance sheet template. Whenever you send information to a potential lender or creditor, this will be the first sheet in the package. However, you will also need to get templates for your Profits and Loss statements and other financials in order to give others a clear picture of the direction your business is going in. The balance sheet template is just a snapshot in time. The other pages, such as profit and loss statements, provide a longer statement.
