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.

Yes. I agree with this . Planning ahead in business has helped my business grow . When you have plans already for your business it helps minimize unnecessary spending . Having a budget for your business would help you keep your expenditure in check so you don't spend on things that are not important

As an entrepreneur think about what will happen five and ten years down the road. Will your current business model sustain? Make predictions about what your growth and finances will look like, and work towards building those. Like saving for a rainy day, start saving small amounts for when you want to hire a bigger team. Or, start saving if you think you’ll be able to get that new shop you’ve always dreamt about. There’s nothing wrong with dreaming big as long as you craft a plan to match it.

This is a great article. I would like to add on my personal experience in the business. This concept is called " Pay Yourself First" Would suggest new business owners save at least 10% of their income. That 10% is theirs and theirs alone Should use the 10% to invest in things that would generate additional cash flow. It might be a slow start at the beginning, but after a while, your investments would have grown considerably and would generate a good passive cash flow. This cash flow would give you confidence and peace of mind to pursue your business goals. Once your passive cash flow exceeds your monthly expenses you would have achieved financial wealth. Keep growing.
