    How do you budget for your business without making How do you budget for your business without making it complicated or overwhelming? Here’s how to make one that actually works: 1. Start by reviewing your numbers from last year to see where your money went. Look at your total income and break down where your expenses went. For example, if you earned $85,000 last year and spent $25,000 on contractors, $10,000 on software, and $5,000 on marketing. That might show you’re investing heavily in operations but not enough in growth. 2. Next, set clear spending goals for things like marketing, operations, and payroll. For example, you might budget 15% for marketing, 10% for software, and 25% for savings or taxes. 3. Plan ahead for seasonal changes too. If your business slows down during certain months, set aside extra during your busy season to cover future expenses. 4. Finally, check in with your budget often. A quick review each month helps you stay on track, make small tweaks, and keep your money working for your business. Have questions?
