Cash Flow Forecast
A projection of money in and out over coming weeks or months, revealing shortfalls while there's still time to act.
A cash flow forecast projects expected receipts and payments forward — invoices due in, bills and wages due out — to show the bank balance at future dates.
Its value is early warning: a gap visible six weeks out can be fixed with invoicing pushes, delayed spending, or arranged finance. A gap discovered on the day cannot.
