6 key components of a business budget

Description

Abstract: Many owners of small to midsize businesses don’t create a budget or don’t update the one they have, typically because they’re too busy or simply not focused on sticking to a budget. But keeping a budget is important not only for planning purposes, but because banks have been setting up loan covenants with an increased emphasis on budgeting. There are six key components that should be part of a budget, including line-item details for allocating funds and a regular monitoring of performance against expectations.
