BUSINESS TIPS
  • Plan – Prepare a Business Plan at the start of each fiscal, which should include a cash flow budget.
  • Record - A monthly cash flow should be prepared and a list of payables and receivables with the relevant time lines, daily, weekly or monthly should be maintained.
  • Review - Schedule regular meetings with your Republic Bank Account Manager to evaluate your position and prepare for any contingency within the coming year.
  • Position yourself – Who are your main customers, suppliers, competitors and what is your market share?
  • Separate Funds – Ensure there is no comingling of funds; best practice dictates that personal and business funds should be properly separated and accounted for. Funds obtained through the business must be channelled through your business accounts and NOT to your personal account.
