What a cash-flow budget can do to help your business grow

Although only 5% of businesses have an up to date cash-flow budget, here are 8 reasons your business can benefit from having this done:

1. A document to use to discuss your finances with your banker (or another bank)
2. An understanding of why “cash is tight” at a particular time
3. Great motivation to undertake business growth strategies
4. The opportunity to put measures in place to minimize the impact of cash shortfalls
5. The ability to budget for the impact of additional business
6. Understanding the impact of a new investment in capital equipment
7. An understanding of cash available for use outside of the business
8. A reference document for ongoing monitoring of actual business performance

Of all of the above, utilizing the cash-flow budget in conjunction with a performance monitoring system provides the greatest value. Such a system provides ongoing business intelligence, motivation for change if necessary, an up to date assessment of performance, a baseline for testing new strategies, and early identification of opportunities and problems.
