A Cash Flow Projection is an integral part of the financial section of all business plans, literally describing how cash is projected to flow in and out of a business. Unlike Cash Flow Statements which are used to explain the previous actual cash flow, the Cash Flow Projections are used to anticipate the cash to be generated or expended over a chosen period of time in the future.
