Financial Tips for Small Businesses and Personal Budgets

Here’s how you can harness the spirit of National Small Business Month to boost your financial wellness. It doesn’t matter if you’re a business owner or managing your household budget. Make sure you have a budget!

1. Review Your Budget

2. Set Clear Goals
   Small businesses should set revenue targets or expansion plans. Similarly, individuals can aim to build an emergency fund or pay down debt. Write down your goals and break them into actionable steps.
3. Invest in Growth
   Businesses can explore new marketing strategies or employee training. For personal finances, consider investing in a retirement account or learning a new skill to boost your income potential.
4. Leverage Resources
   Small business owners can tap into free resources from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), such as webinars and mentorship programs. Individuals can access free financial education through local libraries.
5. Plan for Taxes
