Simple Balance Sheet Maker

Frequently asked questions

What is the fundamental Balance Sheet equation?

Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Owner's Equity. The statement must always balance.

What is Working Capital?

Working Capital = Current Assets minus Current Liabilities. Positive working capital indicates healthy short-term operational liquidity.

What is the difference between a Balance Sheet and a P&L?

A P&L shows performance over a period (income and expenses). A Balance Sheet is a snapshot at one date showing what you own (assets) versus what you owe (liabilities) plus owner equity.

Why must assets always equal liabilities plus equity?

Because every asset you own was funded either by money you owe (liability) or money you or investors put in (equity). If the two sides do not match, something is missing or misclassified.

How do I fix a Balance Sheet that does not balance?

Check for un-entered assets, missing owner capital, double-counted items, or expenses accidental recorded as assets. The generator flags an imbalance so you can trace and correct the entries.

What is the Current Ratio and why does it matter?

Current Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities. A ratio above 1 means you can cover short-term obligations; below 1 signals a possible cash-flow crunch. Banks often check this ratio before lending.
