Abstract

Financial reporting still raises doubts and concerns among large and small entrepreneurs. When analyzing financial statements, the recipient often asks whether the current comprehensive forms of financial statements are not too vague and confusing. Data disclosed in the financial statements are often not easily read by ordinary users or even analysts. Maybe now it is worth looking for other new solutions that will allow business managers to obtain basic financial information from the financial reports in a quick and immediate way. The increase in competition and financial crises caused the largest number of bankruptcies in the group of small and medium enterprises. And it is to these small economic entities that it is worth facilitating the process of analyzing financial data. For this group of enterprises, it is worth highlighting in the financial statements those data that may inform about risks in conducting and continuing further operations. The article presents a balance sheet model for small business entities. Its layout and formula is designed to lighten the picture of the company’s financial situation and provide the most important information on the company’s financial safety.
