Planning Your Cash Flow Budget

Planning Your Cash Flow Budget

An essential part to any business plan is the Cash Flow Budget.

This involves planning out the income and expenses you’re expecting from your business; it’s really important because you need to have a guide or something that you can work to. Also, when you’re providing business plans to banks and other financial institutions, they would like to see how you’re actually going to make money, and if it’s going to work out with business. Now, it’s important when doing a cash flow budget that you are realistic — it’s very easy to overestimate your income and underestimate your expenses — so one key thing is to be realistic.

You’re probably not going to be making millions straight upfront, but you need to make sure you’re covering your expenses and that you’re effectively paying yourself a wage. Otherwise, you may as well stay working for somebody else.
