Why are making the right critical financial choices vital for your business to succeed?
People start businesses because of their technical skills but often don't have the financial skills to build a successful business. So you've either got to master those skills yourself or bring in the experts who have them.
It is very easy when you start up in business to become so focused on sales that you neglect the control systems that must be in place and run parallel to sales generation. You need to have a financial plan. What happens if….? If it doesn’t work at what point do you get out to avoid losing all of your capital? You need to plan for various options and stick to the plan.
A financial plan encompasses the financial systems and tools to keep your business out of trouble, to survive and thrive! You need the control and monitoring systems in place so that, for example, if you have the opportunity for a large order that you can finance purchasing the stock to make and deliver that order, that your cash flow is sufficient to pay your wages until the invoices are settled. You need up to date financial figures to hand. You need accurate cash flow forecasts. You need credit control systems. You need to measure your performance against goals and targets.
