Cashflow Projection Tool

Project twelve months of startup cashflow so you can see whether growth, payment timing, and upfront spend are creating a runway problem long before the P&L says the business is profitable.

Inputs

Model assumption: stock purchase and overhead are paid in the month incurred, while revenue arrives according to the selected payment delay.

Results

Quick answer

Profitable growth can still kill cash.

Closing cash = opening cash + cash in - cash out

For hardware teams, the dangerous gap is often the time between paying for stock and being paid by customers, distributors, or retailers.

What this tool is showing

The model tracks monthly units, revenue timing, stock cost, fixed overhead, and one-off month 1 spend. That is enough to show whether the business is on course to dip below zero even if demand looks encouraging.

Use it for

  • estimating runway pressure before launch
  • testing the effect of payment delay from channels or customers
  • seeing whether higher sales volumes actually increase short-term cash strain
