What is equity?

Equity includes the capital invested or lent by the shareholders, accrued earnings, and investment subsidies.

How does the manage equity module work?

At the centre of the module, you will find a table which shows a breakdown of your company's equity at year end.

You can view equity data for up to 5 years from when you started the business plan

You can edit your equity by using the button beneath the table.

How does the equity module impact my financial forecast?

The Business Plan Shop's Our software will use your equity data to create your forecasted financial statements (P&L, balance sheet and cash flow statement). 

These statements also form part of the financial plan section of your business plan. 

As soon as you edit the equity amount, the software will automatically recalculate everything to ensure that your financial forecast is up to date. It’s fast and simple, meaning that your plan will always be ready to export.

When building your forecasted financial statements:

  • We’ll use the amount entered to build your balance sheet equity
  • We’ll also use this data to build the financing cash flow in your cash flow forecast.
