Closure leases & assets
Stay Open Vs Close Cash-Flow Scenarios
Compare business cash and remaining debt at the same horizon under stay-open and closure scenarios.
How to use this calculator
- Gather operating forecast; turnaround costs; sale proceeds; closure costs; debts. Use documents covering the same date or period.
- Replace the example values with your own figures. Change one assumption at a time to compare scenarios.
- Review cash at selected horizon; unpaid balances; sensitivity. Open the breakdown and export a copy for discussion.
How the calculation works
Stay-open cash adds monthly net cash over the horizon and subtracts turnaround costs. Closure cash adds net proceeds and subtracts closure costs and entered debt payoff. The comparison also subtracts remaining open-business debt for an adjusted position.
