5 Easy Ways That Your Small Business Can Be Financially Fit.

When you are a small business owner, any decision you make, right how you set your products' prices, to the cost of your services, has a big impact on your business. There are many things a small business needs to do to remain in business and make profits. Since the pandemic hit, there has been a great shift from brick and mortar business to online enterprises, but the requirements to be financially fit are the same.

A small business owner must be very careful and sensitive to small changes and signals in his business. The business is likely to be affected by a small shift in the general economy or prevailing conditions in the world.

It is important to be up to date with the latest trends and developments in your niche or business field. If you are not careful, things tend to snowball and may lead to a financial situation that may cost you the entire business. As a small business owner and an entrepreneur, you need to prepare for anything; you should be ready for any financial uncertainties.

The following are five ways that you can keep your small business financially fit and future proof:

1. Use an updated bookkeeping system –to keep your financials in check, you should have the latest and most sophisticated bookkeeping tool. A good example is QuickBooks. Such tools can be automated and easily tweaked to fit your business needs. Having the latest bookkeeping tools will help you track your inventory and manage your bills and customers better.

2. Plan ahead – The best way to future proof your small business is to plan for the future. Have properly developed long-term and short-term plans. The long-term plans will help you anticipate any changes in future economic trends. If you have long-term plans, no uncertain occurrence will knock you out of business because you will have already planned for it in advance.

3. Outsource what you are not good at – for your business to be financially sound, you should concentrate on what you can do best and outsource all the other operations. For example, you should not try to do your taxes. If it is not your strength, you are bound to make mistakes. Tax issues have a high propensity of making errors of omission or commission, which may cost you dearly.

4. Always check your books every day – As a small business owner who is just getting started, you should keep your financial records in check and look at them regularly. Never procrastinate; check your books. Ensure you look at your books every day without fail. It is only by carefully scrutinizing your books that you will be able to catch mistakes early enough before they become too big to handle.

5. Stick to your budget – This is a big mistake that many small business owners fall into. You should make your budget early enough at the business planning stage. Once you have all the plans and the budget set way in advance, you can now go ahead and ensure you align your operations to your budget. Small business owners should make sure they stick to their budget at all times. Going outside the budget is financially unhealthy and may cost your business in the long run.

 

It was definitely more expensive for me to be buying those feeds from the market because everything was very costly which was why I had to learn how to make them by myself and make sure that I mastered it very well because if you give your birds or fishers feeds that are not very good for them, it is going to make them have stunted growth and it's going to affect your sales and profit.

A similar issue happened in here. Our country's government imported a huge amount of feed and the feed was not that great. This led to a shortage of feed. In return, the rates of chicken became so high that chicken became extremely expensive.. This led to financial losses and i think that businesses should work with the government in order to prevent such issues and mistakes related to finance.

The good thing about feeds production in my country is that a lot of private companies are also involved in its production and even importation as well, so you have so many alternatives to make use of and not rely on what the government is making available for those that are into poultry farming business.

Well, imported products are deemed as better in many countries. I think that businesses could improve themselves and make themselves financially fit if they produce high-quality products that matches the import or the export quality. High-quality products may incur more cost. However, there are a lots of people who buy those products. This could also make your business financially fit.

 

Yes, I agree with your third point. Outsourcing is essential not only for small business owners but also for well-established businesses. No one can do all the tasks on their own. You need to outsource different tasks to different field experts to run your business smoothly.

Outsourcing some jobs gives you better ending in output if it's compared to how the work would have ended being done in house. There are professional who will do a job better and it's good to have them work for your business on contract than full time because it will too costly paying them on full time.

The trend of outsourcing jobs became popular during the mid 2000s. This was the time when the freelancing industry was evolving. Today the freelancing industry has developed a lot and I think that it will grow much more. This has also helped many businesses become financially fit because now they can hire freelancers and they they could agree to work for a cheaper rate.

The only work sector which have been perfect with how they outsource jobs on contract is the banking sector. Over the last 10 years which I'm aware of, no banks in my state have hired any staff on permanent employment. Staffs are hired on a max 2 years contract and they will terminate the contract.

 

This is actually the reason why I always question why businesses go into borrowing a huge amount of money when they don't have a very good repayment plan that is going to help them to pay off their debt so that it will not affect the business.

Well, borrowing money in a huge quantity is one of the building blocks of bankruptcy and this is how the process of bankruptcy begins. Majority of the successful businesses have enough capital in order to survive the bad times. This also prevents them from taking excessive loans. Borrowing loans and paying interest ruins the financial position of the business.

To borrow a heavy loan, you must ensure your business is working well with a good strategy but only lacking the finance to improve on success. Acquiring a loan at such time will make the business boom. It's only through this means a loan will be of more help to any business.

I would never borrow loan at all and there are many reasons for that. Nowadays borrowing loan requires you to pay heavy interest. As economy is becoming worse, interest rates are destroying businesses and this is why high interest rates are poison for businesses and economy.

It's why I won't borrow loan too for my business. Even though the money was supposed to help my business but I know it's likely not going to be as I planned and it's how businesses find themselves in constant need to pay off loan debt they put themselves into as a result of not paying for the loan when they were supposed to.

Well, apart from interest rates, there are many other issues with borrowing money. You have to surrender your property as mortgage. If you fail to pay the loan back, then you will lose your property. This is also one of the main reasons why I always try my best to avoid borrowing money.

Yes, collaterals are needed before banks will approve your loan. It's among the conditions to meet when applying for any bank loan for the bank to deem you eligible for their loan.

I've heard about loan shark applications where people can apply and get loans without any collaterals but I feel the loan amount they will give is small.

If you're not making reinvestment in your small scale business, the business will be held back from growing. You're not expected to take your your business profit from it when it's new. Put everything back and turn over for 2 years and watch the growth you've had.

Governments of different countries are generally against supporting importation and you can understand their reasons for choosing not to support it. Excessive importation affects the growth of infant industries in the country. It's why the government levy high taxes on imported goods.
