Surviving Tough Economic Times

Let's face it. When challenging times hit, keeping a small business afloat can be difficult, but extra attention to simple financial details can help ensure that a business survives.

First, it's important to understand that every small business is different, and each carries unique risks and rewards. The reality is there is no set playbook we can follow to get back on course, especially when a crisis hits.

However, in this course, you'll learn how to apply some useful financial advice that can help you take back control and feel empowered by taking action.

What To Do To Keep Your Business Going in Hard Times

When tough economic times hit, overwhelm can quickly set in causing small business owners to grasp at any strategy they feel will keep them going. However, the number one goal during these times is to keep a cool head and understand exactly where every dollar is coming from and accounting for each cent spent.

Key Financial Objectives

  • Accountability

    It's imperative you know where your accounts receivables and payables are at any time. But, in moments of crisis, it's vital to review each item with a critical eye.

  • Evaluation

    Not all of your business’s resources are crucial to its core operation so think through your bottom-line essentials. Review each item and determine what is essential and what is non-essential.

  • Cashflow

    It's important to keep as much can on hand as possible when a crisis hits so understanding how to accomplish this is very important, especially during times of crisis.
