A balance sheet plays an important role in the proper functioning and maintenance of any kind of business. It does not matter whether it is a small scale business or large scale business; all of them are required to make it annually.

Three basic things which have to be mentioned in a balance sheet include assets, liabilities and ownership equity along with the specific dates. This is the only type of financial statement which is applicable for a single point in time therefore utmost care should be taken while preparing it.
While preparing it for your business you can take care of few things and the balance sheet obtained will be highly accurate. First of all put value on your assets carefully and make sure that all the assets have been taken into consideration. The assets whose value should be computed necessarily include real estate, equipments being used in your office, furniture present in your office, cash available in your bank accounts, investments and amount of money that is yet to be received. Second step is to compute your liabilities which include loans, mortgages, lease and every other thing that is payable outside.
After you are done with these steps you should compute owner's equity which is calculated by subtracting liabilities from assets. The resultant value gives the value of your company. After that you have to put in all these details in a proper form. If you do not have much knowledge about it, then do not worry. There is available template in which you simply have to put in the values and your balance sheet is ready. So get ready to compute the value of your business accurately.
