Business Inventory - How much is Enough?

Planning and preparing are the more vital ingredients for business growth, money is essential but not the reliable asset to boost the business growth. Management is the watch word.

So on that note, I want to know how much inventory we should keep in our business?

The answer to this question will depend on the type of business you are referring to. For grocery stores that I know off, you should budget around $1,000 for a start.
 
It really depends on the field you are on, the capital you will need to start a car selling business will be different for a bottle water business. In any case, it's always advisable to start small and start with whatever you have.
You are very correct. Different business types demands different strategy and inventory allocation amounts for such testing outs. He will have to let us know the exact business he's talking about
 
The best way of knowing how much to keep is by making price researches on they products you're looking at and keep extra bucks in case of inflation at the time of buying.

The business inventory is generally being created so that you can be able to have a list of everything you're going to sell at a price and how much you bought it to keep record.
 
The inventory is always difficult to determine at the start of the business. It would be calculated accurately when the business is in operation. The amount of stocks also depends on the size and the type of business. The turnover of the business is another determining factor. All these could be use to estimate inventory.
 
First carry out a market survey on your product or service before you can make that decision. Hope we all know that we price our products and services based on market cost base, Cost price base and value cost base. Just find out the one your business falls under and that little piece of information will fetch you your answers.
 
I think what would really help out is if you set not just a budget but also a target. If I should put in this particular amount, this is what I hope to gain or this is what I plan to achieve.
 
Business inventory,no matter how small it is,it will sure consume reasonable amount of money,the range of the money will then depend on if it is large or small call business,but I don't think there is any concluded price for business inventory
