Why Your Business Needs a Budget
Budgeting (or forecasting) is vital to the ongoing success of your business. It helps ensure that, no matter what the world throws at you or your business, you’ll be well placed to negotiate the challenges you are presented with. In addition, it will assist you in setting business goals and KPIs, evaluate performance, predicts cashflow, provide invaluable data when making important business decisions and make your business more nimble when opportunities arise. So why, according to this survey from the US, are only 55% of small businesses bothering to do it? I suspect it’s to do with finite time and resources.
