The next 13 weeks

Edit the weekly schedule ↓
Closing cashMinimum targetBelow target

Week 13 closes with $2.80M cash and $8.56M drawn debt. Total modeled interest: $200k. Target shortfalls include unfunded cash gaps; do not add them together.

The cash buffer is under pressure

In the default case, cash falls below the $2.80M target in week 12. The borrowing base is fully drawn that week, leaving a $590k buffer shortfall. Cash stays nonnegative.

Commitment is not availability

The $16.00M commitment does not guarantee access to that amount. Eligible receivables limit debt to $10.11M in week 12.

Focus the next review

Challenge collection dates and payroll timing ahead of week 12. Update eligible receivables separately and confirm daily cash needs; positive weekly totals can hide an intraweek gap.

Permitted debt = the lower of the commitment and eligible receivables × advance rate. Availability is reduced by the drawn balance.

How the model works
  1. Cash before funding = opening cash + customer receipts − payroll − other payments − interest. Weekly interest = opening drawn balance × annual rate ÷ 52.
  2. Funding capacity = the lower of the commitment and eligible A/R × advance rate when the borrowing base is enabled; otherwise the commitment alone. No other availability reserves, covenant tests, fees, or lender approvals are modeled.
  3. Repayment comes first. If debt exceeds capacity, available positive cash repays that excess even if it takes cash below the target. Any remaining surplus above the target repays the revolver. Uncured excess debt is shown as an overadvance, not new availability.
  4. Draw to the target, within capacity. The model draws only the amount permitted to reach the minimum cash target. A remaining gap stays visible. Negative closing cash represents cumulative unfunded payments, not an authorized overdraft; it carries into the next week.
  5. Weekly totals can hide daily pressure. Receipts and payments are netted within each week. Draws, repayments, and A/R capacity are tested at week-end. Confirm actual payment dates and daily availability before using a real forecast for funding decisions.
  6. A separate example. This is not linked to the monthly forecast, a lender compliance certificate, or a complete balance sheet. All cash and receivables are assumed unrestricted. No new equity or other unentered cash funding is supplied automatically.

From a cash forecast to a financing decision

In the HeyTutor CFO case study, Seth connected a 13-week cash forecast to an $8M invoice financing facility. That professional engagement is separate from this fictional Harbor example.
