What is Global Cash Flow?

The Short Answer

Global Cash Flow is a lender’s full review of all cash flows for a business and its owners, including personal income and debts.

Global Cash Flow explained simply

When a lender looks at Global Cash Flow, they are not just looking at your business’s finances. They are also looking at your personal finances. This means they add up all the money coming into your business and all the money coming into your personal accounts. Then, they subtract all the debts and expenses from both sides. It’s like looking at one big financial picture that includes everything.

Real-World Example

The Coffee Shop Owner’s Loan

Imagine a coffee shop owner, Sarah, wants a loan to expand. The bank will look at her coffee shop’s profit and loss statements. But they will also ask for her personal tax returns and bank statements. They will see her salary from the coffee shop, any rental income she has, and her mortgage payments. They will combine all this information to see if she, and her business, can afford the new loan.

Why this matters

Global Cash Flow matters because it gives lenders a full picture of your ability to repay a loan. If your business cash flow is tight, but your personal finances are strong, it might help you get approved. It helps lenders make smart decisions about who to lend money to.
