A balance sheet has three main sections:
- Assets — what the company owns (cash, accounts receivable, inventory, property/equipment).
- Liabilities — what the company owes (accounts payable, loans, accrued expenses).
- Owner’s Equity (Shareholders’ Equity or Capital) — the owners’ claim after liabilities are paid (common stock, retained earnings).

They tie together by the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity.
