It might only be September, but for businesses relying on Christmas trade, financial planning may already need to be underway.
A busy festive period can mean spending more before the additional revenue starts coming in.
Things to start thinking about include:
🎄 Stock and supplies
🎄 Seasonal employees
🎄 Supplier payment dates
🎄 Marketing costs
🎄 Expected changes in sales
🎄 Working capital
Understanding when money will leave and enter your business can help you prepare for potential cash-flow gaps.
If Christmas is an important trading period for your business, your AIMS accountant can help you forecast ahead and make sure your finances are ready.
