Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I create a cash flow statement from a bank statement?
- Export your bank statement to Excel. Separate transactions into three groups: Operating (revenue, payroll, rent, utilities), Investing (equipment purchases, property sales), and Financing (loan proceeds, loan payments, owner draws). Sum each group. Net cash from operations = revenue deposits minus operating expense debits. This cash-basis format is accepted by most small business lenders.
- Is a bank statement cash flow statement accepted by lenders?
- Yes. For small businesses without formal GAAP financials, SBA lenders, alternative lenders, and many community banks accept a cash-basis cash flow statement derived from bank statements. The key metrics they want are average monthly operating cash inflows and average monthly debt service payments, both visible in your Excel export.
