Net Cash Flow = $0 - $0 = $0
This negative net cash flow of $0 indicates that your business spent $0 more than it brought in during that time period.
In other words, your business had to use $0 more in cash than it generated, likely requiring you to dip into savings, take out a loan, or find other ways to cover the shortfall.
This kind of negative cash flow can be a sign of financial strain and is an important metric for small business owners to monitor closely.
