Financial Health: Simple Budgeting Tricks for Small Businesses

Updated: Dec 6, 2024

Budgeting Without the Overwhelm


A slim budget can make financial planning feel like a maze. Here are a few tricks to simplify your approach:


  • The 50/30/20 Rule: Allocate 50% of your revenue to operating expenses (rent, utilities), 30% to growth (inventory, marketing), and 20% to savings or emergency funds.



  • Track Expenses in Real-Time: Apps like QuickBooks or Wave make it easy to track every cent. Snap a photo of your receipts, and the app does the math for you.

  • Set Financial Goals: Break large goals into manageable chunks. Instead of saving $10,000, aim for $200 a week. Achievable, right?

  • Cut What You Don’t Use: Subscriptions, memberships, or tools you haven’t touched in months? Cancel them. You’ll be surprised how much you save when you eliminate the unnecessary.


Example: A local cleaning service can save $2,400 annually by canceling software subscriptions they never fully utilized.


Quick Tip: Review your finances monthly, not quarterly. Small adjustments now can prevent big problems later.
