Cash Flow Sensitivity Analysis Worksheet

Provided by the International Finance Corporation

The cash flow budget worksheet allows the sensitivity analysis of your cash flow. Insert your cash flow informations in the middle column “expected cash flow” and the tool will calculate pessimistic and optimistic scenarios assuming a variation of 25% in receipts and disbursements. This is intended to be a simple and practical tool to be adjusted and used by SMEs working in all sectors. You may adapt it to reflect your business needs, type of clientele, products and services you offer.

This worksheet lists all the descriptions of the cash inflows and outflows of the new business. If you need additional categories of expenses you can quickly modify it. Just plug in your amounts and the spreadsheet will automatically compute the totals.
