Starting a new business: Build a strong financial foundation

Starting a new business is an exhilarating journey filled with possibilities—but it also comes with its own set of challenges that require careful navigation if you're aiming for long-term success and stability in today's competitive landscape.

Many new entrepreneurs underestimate the importance of establishing sound financial practices right from the outset; this oversight could jeopardise their chances of survival amid unforeseen circumstances later down the line.

Create a comprehensive business plan

A well-structured business plan should include detailed financial projections outlining expected revenues and expenses over time.

Establish a budget

Developing a realistic budget helps manage cash flow effectively by accounting for both fixed costs (like rent) and variable costs (like marketing).

Keep accurate records

Implement robust bookkeeping practices from day one so that accurate records are maintained consistently throughout operations.

Build an emergency fund

Setting aside funds as a buffer against unexpected expenses provides peace-of-mind during challenging times.
