If your small business is going to grow, you’re going to need money—money to expand your operations, to open a new location, to build a new plant, to fuel further success. Financial strategic planning is about identifying your future financial needs and obtaining the funds to meet them. Among the key questions: Will you need financing? If so, how much? How should the financing be obtained? How much are you willing to pay for the money?
Financial strategic planning requires that you do your homework. Do you know how your business is doing? Are you getting regular financial reports that include all the key metrics? A good business management consultant can help you make sure you’re getting the information you need. And he or she can also help you determine what strategies will work best—not just in terms of financials, but also in terms of growth, marketing and business development.
