LGB Direct believes that starting a business doesn't need to be expensive as long as an entrepreneur knows how to plan efficiently and make the most of the resources available to them. To help budding business minds put this theory into practice; the firm have revealed their top 3 money saving tips to help new businesses start off on the right track.

Budgeting

When it comes to budgeting for a new business, winging it is not an option. Without budgeting, an entrepreneur is at risk of spending more than they need to or have. A clear and thorough budget plan is essential to not only assess that outgoings don't outweigh profit, but to also ensure that enough revenue is being reinvested back into the business.

Bookkeeping

In order for a budget plan to make an impact an entrepreneur needs to have an effective bookkeeping system in place. A bookkeeping system may sound daunting and potentially boring but it is key to keeping track of all the money going in and out of the business. This will help an entrepreneur to avoid overspending or owing money to contractors and suppliers and ensure that all pending payments are chased up and received on time, which for a newly established business can be the difference between success and failure.

Negotiation

When launching a new business, it makes sense to find quality suppliers and contractors and stick to them. becoming loyal to these businesses not only takes the headache out of repeat ordering it can also open up room for negotiation on rates, as suppliers are keen to secure repeat business. Negotiating rates can provide better value for money and can even provide entrepreneurs with the opportunity to work out a specific payment plan which lessens the strain on their business during tougher periods.
