What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the cash balance at the beginning and end of the year is an important indicator of the company's financial health and liquidity. The statement of cash flows provides a summary of the movement of cash both into and out of the company during a specific period.. For All Team, the cash balance at the beginning of 2024 was $1,015,879 and the cash balance at the end of 2024 was $629,272. In comparison, the cash balance at the beginning of 2023 was $894,307 and the cash balance at the end of 2023 was $1,015,879.
The decrease in cash from the beginning to the end of 2024 indicates that All Team used more cash than it generated during the year. This could be due to a variety of factors, such as net losses, investments in assets, or repayments of debt. Conversely, the increase in cash during 2023 suggests that All Team generated more cash than it used, potentially through profitable operations or financing activities. These figures are derived from the Statements of Cash Flows, which are audited by an independent auditor, lending credibility to the numbers.
For a prospective franchisee, monitoring these cash balances can offer insights into All Team's ability to manage its finances, invest in growth, and meet its obligations. A consistently declining cash balance might raise concerns about the franchisor's long-term financial stability. However, it's important to consider the context of these figures within the broader financial statements, including the balance sheet and income statement, to gain a comprehensive understanding of All Team's financial performance. Reviewing multiple years provides a trend and a better understanding of the overall financial picture.
