2. Cash Flow StatementThe cash flow statement shows how cash moves in and out of the business, categorized into three sections:

• Cash Inflows:
  • Sales from tanning services and product sales.
  • Membership and package prepayments.
• Cash Outflows:
  • Payments for rent, wages, marketing, utilities, and maintenance.

Investing Cash Flow (ICF)

  • Sale of old tanning beds or unused equipment.

  • Business loans, investor funding.

  • Repayment of loans, lease obligations, dividends (if applicable).

Net Cash Flow = Operating CF + Investing CF + Financing CFIf positive, the salon is generating more cash than it is spending. If negative, adjustments may be needed.
