Yet many business owners aren’t doing the basic financial housekeeping that could give them greater control over their company and more peace of mind.
For example, almost half of the surveyed entrepreneurs say they don’t make financial projections for their business and compare them to actual results during the year.
Even a profitable, fast-growing company can face a serious financial crunch while waiting for money to come in. In fact, it’s surprisingly common for profitable companies to go out of business because they ran out of cash. That’s why you often hear the expression “cash is king.”
