Balance sheets and business valuations


A Balance Sheet shows the Assets and Liabilities of a company or entity. It details the company’s financial position at a certain point of time.

The three main parts of a balance sheet are:

  • Assets less
  • Liabilities equals
  • Equity (the value of the owner’s interest in the business)

Please note this information is provided as a guide only.
