Use this worksheet to prepare the balance sheet you will include in your business plan. Yours
may have slightly different categories depending on the type of business. Use a similar format to
prepare pro forma (projected) balance sheets.
"Investment" represents the amount you and/or your partners or other owners have invested in the
business.
"Retained earnings" is the net earnings or profit you have put back into the business.
The total for owners' equity (calculated by deducting total liabilities from total assets) also represents
the net worth of your business.
