However, if you are starting from scratch, we recommend using our template because it is designed to make it as simple as possible for you to complete. Remember, you don’t have to use our template – particularly if you have already created a Cash Flow Forecast. The file also includes a Business Plan template, which is required for your application. These two templates are automatically linked together to reflect where any shortfall in your personal budgeting may need to be made up by drawings from your business.

For your ease, this file includes a blank Personal Survival Budget template, which you must also submit with your application. This file includes a separate tab with guidance on how to use the template, as well as some useful hover-over tips and messages on the template itself to support you as you work through.
