At one point to another, most businesses will need to raise finance, whether to fund growth or enhance short-term cash flow. The effective management of finance can make a big difference to the profitability of your company – obtaining finance wisely and tax-efficiently can reward your business handsomely, while badly planned, inappropriate finance can become a burden.

Success in business consumes working capital. Higher raw material costs, more staff and more customers absorb cash and time. Strong financial analysis and good planning should be central to every business's regular routine. Perhaps the most important area is forecasting what cash will be needed for those everyday expenses and overheads. Take stock on a regular basis - do you have sufficient reserves to meet a surprise or large new order?
