A pro forma balance sheet is a financial statement that projects your company’s assets, liabilities, and equity at a future point in time. Unlike a historical balance sheet, which shows where your business stands today, a pro forma version answers the question:
👉 “What will my balance sheet look like if a certain event happens?”
For example:
- What if you take out a $100,000 loan?
- What if you purchase new equipment worth $25,000?
- What if you acquire another business?
Your pro forma balance sheet will show the effect of those changes on your assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity.
Key Components of a Pro Forma Balance Sheet
Just like a standard balance sheet, it includes:
- Assets
- Current Assets (cash, accounts receivable, inventory)
- Non-Current Assets (equipment, property, vehicles, long-term investments)
- Liabilities
- Current Liabilities (accounts payable, short-term loans, line of credit)
- Non-Current Liabilities (long-term debt, mortgages, bonds payable)
- Equity
- Owner’s capital contributions
- Retained earnings
And it still follows the fundamental rule:
📌 Assets = Liabilities + Equity
