Business planning, budgeting & cashflows

Staying on top of your business planning, budget, and cash flow is an essential part of managing a company.

However, in our experience, business owners rarely find time to work on their business rather than in their business.

As a business owner, you have no doubt been reminded about the importance of business planning and no doubt you agree that planning is important.

Without sound analysis, clear projections, and well-thought-out strategies, businesses tend to become hostages to market forces, which prevents them from achieving great results.

This is why we encourage our clients to schedule regular planning sessions with our friendly team to make sure their finances and strategy remain on track.

Our great people can help you:

Formulate and implement long-term strategic goals
Set concrete operational objectives
Monitor performance and adjust plans accordingly

Why should I create a business budget?

The creation of a business budget will allow you to estimate and plan future income and expenses.

Whether you are setting out a budget as part of a start-up business plan, an application for a business loan, or to help adjust your spending, you will need to work out your ‘required profit’.

By calculating how much money you need to make to cover your business and personal expenses, factoring in goals and new projects, you can work out how much income you need to balance the books.

With years of experience serving clients in all sectors of business, our experts will work with you to understand your specific needs and help you put together a budget which will help you focus on the steps you need to take to improve efficiency and profitability in your business.

How do I manage my cash flow?

Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business. At every stage in its growth, your business needs to maintain a balance between a positive cash flow and adequate working capital on the one hand and a reasonable return on investment on the other.

Directors’ drawings, shareholder dividends, and debt repayments need to be carefully considered to ensure that the smooth running and continued growth of your business is not jeopardised.
You will need to prepare for possible external changes, such as economic downturns or fluctuations in exchange or interest rates, as well as internal changes, such as the temporary or permanent loss of key employees.
All these matters require expert support to help you develop and constantly adjust a flexible finance structure for your company.
