Understanding Cash Flow Forecast Basics:
Cash flow tracks money in (revenue) and out (expenses) to predict liquidity. For startups, burn rate shows monthly cash consumption, and runway estimates survival time (e.g., 4.7 months). Fixed expenses are constant (e.g., rent); variable expenses vary (e.g., marketing). If cash goes negative within 12 months, it’s shown as $0.
Key Components:
1. Starting Cash: Initial cash balance in AUD.
2. Monthly Revenue: Expected average revenue per month.
3. Monthly Fixed Expenses: Constant costs (e.g., rent, salaries).
4. Monthly Variable Expenses: Costs that vary (e.g., marketing, supplies).
