I'm having a hard time understanding the concept of a balance sheet?

Balance sheets are used to measure and report an organization's financial position. They show the assets, liabilities, and equity in an organization at a given point in time. The three main components of a balance sheet include Assets, Liabilities, and Equity. Assets represent everything that an organization owns, such as buildings, equipment, and other tangible items. Liabilities represent everything that an organization owes, like loans or unpaid bills. Finally, Equity is the difference between total assets and total liabilities. It shows how much an organization has available to invest in future projects.
