You’ve probably heard about the importance of a personal emergency fund, but does your business have one? An emergency fund can protect your company from unexpected expenses or revenue shortfalls.
Here’s how to start building one:
- Set a Goal:
Aim to save 3–6 months of operating expenses. - Automate Savings:
Set up automatic transfers to a separate business savings account each month. - Cut Unnecessary Spending:
Review your budget and identify expenses you can reduce or eliminate. - Plan for Seasonality:
If your business has predictable slow periods, an emergency fund ensures you can cover fixed costs without stress. - Use Windfalls Wisely:
Allocate a portion of unexpected profits or tax refunds to your emergency fund.
An emergency fund provides peace of mind and ensures you can weather financial challenges without jeopardizing your business.
