What Is a Balance Sheet?

A balance sheet is a snapshot of your business's financial position: what you own (assets), what you owe (liabilities), and the difference (equity — your net worth in the business).

Assets, Liabilities, Equity

Assets: cash in the bank, equipment, vehicles, accounts receivable (money clients owe you). Liabilities: loans, credit card balances, accounts payable (money you owe vendors). Equity: Assets - Liabilities = what you actually own. If you have $50K in assets and $20K in debt, your equity is $30K.

Why Solopreneurs Need One

Most solopreneurs skip balance sheets because they seem complicated. But a balance sheet answers 'can I afford that new truck?' and 'am I building wealth or just staying busy?' It's also required for any business loan application. Banks care more about your balance sheet than your revenue.

How to Create One

Same as P&L — manually is painful, software makes it automatic. If your invoicing, expenses, and banking are all in one system, the balance sheet generates itself.
