Financial Planning For Business | Expert Help

Financial Planning

The Financial challenges associated with running, growing and possibly even exiting a business within an ever-changing commercial landscape are without a doubt considerable.

For many businesses, experience tells us that the biggest challenge is often a lack of knowledge and a genuine lack of understanding regarding the importance of proper financial planning.

The absence of proper budgeting and forecasting continues to be one of the biggest barriers to growth.

61% of SMEs don’t have any sort of budget in place

73% of businesses don’t have an up to date cashflow forecast

70% of SMEs don’t regularly review their financial forecasts

Overcome Financial Challenges With Appropriate Planning

The lack of proper cash flow forecasting and financial planning for business owners is a major challenge for many businesses, irrespective of what growth phase they are in. Without planning cash flow/working capital requirements properly many businesses simply fail to accelerate their growth rates and struggle to compete.

Recent studies have shown that 82% of businesses fail as a result of cash constraints and yet 73% of businesses don’t have an up to date cash flow forecast.

Learn How To Plan For A Profitable Future

Many businesses suffer from poor, if not a total lack of financial planning – despite their desire and need to grow.

Consequently, those same businesses regularly fail to appreciate that alongside any great business plan, there’s also a great financial plan that maps out your business’ journey from a financial perspective. They fail to track their progress both from a revenue and overheads perspective to ensure that your business hits its profit targets month on month, year after year.

Many organisations are equally challenged by a lack of knowledge and time to develop a financial strategy that aligns with the organisation’s overall strategic plan.

This leads to:

✖️ Poor functional structure and poor systems

✖️ Failure to maximise business’s potential

✖️ Internal constraints holding the business back from increasing profits

✖️ Undermine plans to drive overall and individual profit margins

✖️ Limits ability to maximise working capital

✖️ Limits ability to enhance overall enterprise value
