Cash: Normally means banknotes and coins, as in paying in cash. The term is used in a business plan to represent the bank balance, or current account balance.
Cash Flow: Cash coming into and flowing out of a business over a period of time.
Profit: Start with sales, subtract all costs of sales and all expenses; that equals profit before tax. Subtract tax to get net profit.
