3 Financial Tips for Startups

When launching a startup, you are obviously going to have a lot less income than an established business. Therefore, you need to make sure that you are keeping a tight grip of your finances to avoid overspending. Here are some of our best financial tips that we can offer to startups.

 

Get an Accountant

Unless you or a colleague has viable accounting experience, you need to make sure that you are outsourcing your accounting needs to a professional. Chances are that you won’t have the need or the means to hire a permanent accountant for your team, so outsourcing can be the better option.

They will be able to properly track your spending and can prepare all the documents needed for things like filing taxes. You will also be able to hold meetings with them to discuss your spending and what can be done to improve it. Having their expertise on hand will make your business much easier to handle overall, and could teach you some valuable lessons about how to best manage your finances. 

I found this great podcast by The Expat Money Show –   107: Offshore Hedge Funds — Secrets of The Wealthy — David Ament

Watch Out for Scams

There is always going to be someone getting in contact with you to offer up an idea that might seem a little too good to be true. Whether it is a dodgy stock investment, Binary Option trading scams, or anything else nefarious, you need to know what to do to keep your business safe.

As a result, you need to make sure that you know what the warning signs for a scam are. Always trust your gut instinct – if something feels like it might be too good to be true then there is a good chance that it will be. It is always going to be better for you to walk away rather than risk losing what you have built.

 

Know Where the Money Goes

You need to make sure that you are actively monitoring and tracking your spending within the business. There are so many small things that you could decide to not record in your spending, only for them to add up and represent a significant sum. It does not matter if it is an invoice for a major piece of equipment or just a small payment for something trivial, you need to know where the money in your business goes.

By tracking your spending in this way, you are going to be able to easily pinpoint where you might be spending too much on frivolous purchases. As a result, you will be able to make changes that can help keep you on track. With a startup, you can often find that every penny counts.

Managing a startup’s finances is always going to be quite the task, but it should be one that you are happy to take on. You need to know when a project is draining money from you, or when one might not be getting the funding it needs. Take the time to learn more about your business’s finances and how you can best manage them.
