7 Business Budgeting Tips

June 2, 2019 by Steph Leave a Comment

In order to take control of your business’ finances, it’s a great idea to work on budgeting for your business’ future.

7 Business budgeting tips:

1. Overestimate your business’ operating costs

One of the worst mistakes which you can make, when it comes to creating a realistic, workable budget for your business is to underestimate your business’ operating costs. Remember that it’s always a better idea to slightly overestimate your costs than to underestimate your business’ costs and to run out of funds to run each area of your business effectively.

2. Make sure that your business has an emergency fund available

It’s well worth ensuring that your business has a healthy emergency fund, which is kept seperate from your business’ day to day accounts. Having an emergency fund available, may come in handy if any unexpected costs arise or if you want to upgrade your business and to take your business to the next level.

3. Make sure that you’re not getting overcharged by your current supplier

Even if your business has a long term supplier, who you’re used to dealing with, it’s always a smart idea to get quotes from other suppliers who may be able to provide your business with the same quality product as your current supplier for a much lower price.

4. Try and predict how your sales numbers may change in the next 12 months

One way to create an accurate budget is to try and predict how your sales numbers may change over the next 12 months. As an example, when you look at your business’ sales statistics for the last 12 months you may notice that your sales increase in the months that lead up to Christmas or that you sell more products or services during a particular season such as summer.

5. Save a set percentage of your profit

It’s well worth deciding on a set percentage of your profit, which you’ll save in your business’ emergency fund, each year. If your profits are particularly healthy one year, you may also want to increase the amount of money which you save for a rainy day or to take your business to the next level.

6. Make sure to work on paying off your business loans

Your end goal should be to have zero debt. As you know it’s also wise to pay off your loans as quickly as possible, in order to avoid paying high levels of interest on your business loans. So it’s a great idea to invest a fair amount of your business’ profits in to getting on top of your business debt.

7. Make sure to review your business’ budget on a monthly basis

instead of setting a year long budget and not looking at your budget for 12 months, it’s a wise idea to review your business’ budget on a month to month basis. As you may have to tweak your budget, multiple times over a calendar year.

So if you’re a business owner who is looking to budget for the financial future of your business, it’s a great idea to implement many of the budgeting tips listed above!
