CATSBUSINESS TOOLS
Handmade sellers comparing in-person fairs and markets

Reconcile the stock, then decide which show to repeat.

Connect event expenses, item contribution and stock reconciliation. Distinguish the cost of goods sold from cash invested in the stock that came home.

Fictional examples. Your entries are not submitted or saved. Workbook purchase availability is checked before checkout.

Make the assumptions yours

MarketDay example

A fictional seller brings 60 items, sells 25, returns 33 and loses two. Unsold stock is not treated as goods sold, while the cash spent preparing inventory is still visible.

The inputs

Update any input to recalculate. Use aliases only; no customer or child details are needed.

The whole picture
    A workbook you keep

    From an example to your own records.

    Designed for desktop Microsoft Excel. One original workbook, a worked example, a reusable plan and a completed-work log, plus a concise guide.

    The download supports multiple SKU rows and manual transfer of stock totals into the event plan. It does not calculate the free preview’s break-even units or sell-through percentage. The committed-stock cash comparison is not a bank cash-flow statement.

    Review contents & availability
    • 15 SKU rows with stock reconciliation
    • Event plan separating operating surplus from committed-stock cash
    • Returned-stock cost and separate owner-time allowance
    • 15 blank completed-event comparison records
