5 Reasons Why Recordkeeping Is So Important
Summary:
When you decided to start your business, was your first priority concerned with setting up your filing system for recording your expenses? I seriously doubt it. This simple task (yes it is simple) is usually the item that is the last thing on the new business owner’s mind. The more “important” issues of what product to sell, how am I going to advertise, how much money is it going to cost me, and how much money can I make are the first questions we consider when going into bus...

When you decided to start your business, was your first priority concerned with setting up your filing system for recording your expenses? I seriously doubt it. This simple task (yes it is simple) is usually the item that is the last thing on the new business owner’s mind. The more “important” issues of what product to sell, how am I going to advertise, how much money is it going to cost me, and how much money can I make are the first questions we consider when going into business.
The task of recordkeeping is usually procrastinated until the very last minute when it is required. It is time to file your tax return, or time to go to the bank to get a loan for the business and the banker wants to see some financial records for the business. This can be a very daunting and cumbersome task if you have to dig through receipts and expenses for the whole year! No wonder we hate keeping records. That’s no fun!
Well, guess what? If you aren’t keeping good, timely, and up-to-date records monthly, you don’t need to be in business. That’s right. I said it. Here are the top five reasons why I truly believe this statement.
1. Lost tax deductions = Lost Money If you are throwing your receipts in a shoebox each month and not keeping an organized record of your income and expenses, I can bet you money that you are losing out on some major tax deductions. A smart businessperson keeps track of her income (cash in) and expenses (cash out) monthly, sometimes even weekly. You do not need a fancy accounting software package to do this. You don’t even need a computer! Simply keep a journal monthly and log in all of your receipts and invoices, and there you have it.
2. High CPA/Tax Preparer Fees = Lost Money I can speak from personal experience, that if you bring in that shoebox of receipts for the year and expect your tax preparer to record and properly deduct your business expenses on your tax return, you are sadly mistaken. Tax season is the busiest time of year for these professionals. If you expect them to do your bookkeeping and recordkeeping as well, expect to pay for it. They don’t have the time, or the desire to make sure that every receipt is accounted for. As a businessperson, it is your responsibility to make sure they are given the right totals and you can trace it right back to your tax return.
3. Too much time spent looking for receipts The time you spend looking for a past receipt for a particular purchase for whatever reason, you can be utilizing this time in advertising your business or producing your product. These are important money generating activities that you are sacrificing due to your lack of recordkeeping.
4. No financial statements Every business owner should review at least the profit and loss statement (income statement) for their business MONTHLY. This important piece of paper tells you if you are making money or losing money. How can you possibly run your business and make a profit if you are not analyzing your sales and expenses continuously? A good recordkeeping system will allow you to have this information at your fingertips.
5. No need for expensive accounting software If you are just starting your business, or are a small business owner, you more than likely do not need software to prepare your books. A simple journal that is kept monthly of your income and expenses is all you need. At a glance, you will know how your business performed for that particular month.
As a business owner, you need to realize the importance of a good recordkeeping system. This should also be a task that the business owner performs for at least three to six months before delegating the job to someone else. You will be able to run your business more effectively, determine possible cycles in the business year, and know where your money is going. Your business will be much more successful if you keep a simple recordkeeping system.

Free Counseling and Advice Every Startup and Growing Business Needs
Free Counseling and Advice Every Startup and Growing Business Needs
Article Body:
Business counseling fees can be extremely expensive and not knowing where to turn for business advice can be a significant waste of valuable time. That is why there are 80 Business Information Centers (BICs) in the United States and over 1,100 Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs). Not only do they provide small business owners with free counseling, but they also have an extensive reference library of books, publications, and video tapes. Small Business Development centers and Business Information Centers help with start-up business planning or assist in expanding an existing business.
BICs are partnered with the Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) to provide businesses with free business counseling. Retired businessmen and women volunteer their expertise and experience to assist with any issues that may be confronting your business. These men and women can also assist you in developing a customized business plan for your specific business needs. There are over 10,500 SCORE volunteers in 389 chapter locations who assist small businesses across the country. SCORE also provides an online counseling initiative for businesses. More information on this can be obtained at the SBA.gov website.
Business Information Centers are constantly adding new resources to serve the needs in their local business community. Some BICs, such as the Sacramento Business Information Centers, offer bookkeeping, tax planning, budgeting, business financing and loan information, developing business plans, legal information, management skills, and marketing techniques to name a few of the areas BICs specialize in. The majority of all major cities provide BICs.
The Small Business Development centers are a training resource which is a cooperative effort of the private sector, the educational community and federal, state and local governments. It is the Small Business Administration’s (SBA’s) largest resource partner and an initiative that enhances economic development by providing small businesses with management and technical assistance. There are more than 1,100 SBDC lead and service centers located around the country. To locate the nearest development center to you visit the following page created by the Small Business Administration (SBA): http://www.sba.gov/sbdc/sbdcnear.html.

7 Critical Business Financing Mistakes
Summary:
Business financing mistakes can be hazardous to not only your business growth but your very business survival. Learn all about the 7 critical business financing mistakes you should avoid if you're serious about growing a profitable business.
Article Body:
Avoiding the top 7 business financing mistakes is a key component in business survival.
If you start committing these business financing mistakes too often, you will greatly reduce any chance you have for longer term business success.
The key is to understand the causes and significance of each so that you're in a position to make better decisions.
>>> Business Financing Mistakes (1) - No Monthly Bookkeeping.
Regardless of the size of your business, inaccurate record keeping creates all sorts of issues relating to cash flow, planning, and business decision making.
While everything has a cost, bookkeeping services are dirt cheap compared to most other costs a business will incur.
And once a bookkeeping process gets established, the cost usually goes down or becomes more cost effective as there is no wasted effort in recording all the business activity.
By itself, this one mistake tends to lead to all the others in one way or another and should be avoided at all costs.
>>> Business Financing Mistakes (2) - No Projected Cash Flow.
No meaningful bookkeeping creates a lack of knowing where you've been. No projected cash flow creates a lack of knowing where you're going.
Without keeping score, businesses tend to stray further and further away from their targets and wait for a crisis that forces a change in monthly spending habits.
Even if you have a projected cash flow, it needs to be realistic.
A certain level of conservatism needs to be present, or it will become meaningless in very short order.
>>> Business Financing Mistakes (3) - Inadequate Working Capital
No amount of record keeping will help you if you don't have enough working capital to properly operate the business.
That's why its important to accurately create a cash flow forecast before you even start up, acquire, or expand a business.
Too often the working capital component is completely ignored with the primary focus going towards capital asset investments.
When this happens, the cash flow crunch is usually felt quickly as there is insufficient funds to properly manage through the normal sales cycle.
>>> Business Financing Mistakes (4) - Poor Payment Management.
Unless you have meaningful working capital, forecasting, and bookkeeping in place, you're likely going to have cash management problems.
The result is the need to stretch out and defer payments that have come due.
This can be the very edge of the slippery slope.
I mean, if you don't find out what's causing the cash flow problem in the first place, stretching out payments may only help you dig a deeper hole.
The primary targets are government remittances, trade payables, and credit card payments.
>>> Business Financing Mistakes (5) - Poor Credit Management
There can be severe credit consequences to deferring payments for both short periods of time and indefinite periods of time.
First, late payments of credit cards are probably the most common ways in which both businesses and individuals destroy their credit.
Second, NSF checks are also recorded through business credit reports and are another form of black mark.
Third, if you put off a payment too long, a creditor could file a judgement against you further damaging your credit.
Fourth, when you apply for future credit, being behind with government payments can result in an automatic turndown by many lenders.
It gets worse.
Each time you apply for credit, credit inquiries are listed on your credit report.
This can cause two additional problems.
First, multiple inquiries can reduce you overall credit rating or score.
Second, lenders tend to be less willing to grant credit to a business that has a multitude of inquiries on its credit report.
If you do get into situations where you're short cash for a finite period of time, make sure you proactively discuss the situation with your creditors and negotiate repayment arrangements that you can both live with and that won't jeopardize your credit.
>>> Business Financing Mistakes (6) - No Recorded Profitability
For startups, the most important thing you can do from a financing point of view is get profitable as fast as possible.
Most lenders must see at least one year of profitable financial statements before they will consider lending funds based on the strength of the business.
Before short term profitability is demonstrated, business financing is based primary on personal credit and net worth.
For existing businesses, historical results need to show profitability to acquire additional capital.
The measurement of this ability to repay is based on the net income recorded for the business by a third party accredited accountant.
In many cases, businesses work with their accountants to reduce business tax as much as possible but also destroy or restrict their ability to borrow in the process when the business net income is insufficient to service any additional debt.
>>> Business Financing Mistakes (7) - No Financing Strategy
A proper financing strategy creates 1) the financing required to support the present and future cash flows of the business, 2) the debt repayment schedule that the cash flow can service, and 3) the contingency funding necessary to address unplanned or unique business needs.
This sounds good in principle, but does not tend to be well practiced.
Why?
Because financing is largely an unplanned and after the fact event.
It seems once everything else is figured out, then a business will try to locate financing.
There are many reasons for this including: entrepreneurs are more marketing oriented, people believe financing is easy to secure when they need it, the short term impact of putting off financial issues are not as immediate as other things, and so on.
Regardless of the reason, the lack of a workable financing strategy is indeed a mistake.
However, a meaningful financing strategy is not likely to exist if one or more of the other 6 mistakes are present.
This reinforces the point that all mistakes listed are intertwined and when more than one is made, the effect of the negative result can become compounded.

Are You Ready to Outsource Your Bookkeeping?
Are You Ready to Outsource Your Bookkeeping?
Summary:
If you are a small business owner, isn't it time to stop trying to do it all yourself? Think about outsourcing this important job and free up your time to do what you do best- run your business.
Article Body:
Do you run your own small business and try to do it all yourself? Why? Shouldn’t you spend your time doing what you do best- whether it is selling and marketing, customer service or making decisions on how to grow your business?
An entrepreneur tries to juggle many balls each day, but sooner or later one of them is going to be dropped. A smart business owner will realize that he/she can’t do everything because there are only 24 hours in a day. Unless you are extremely organized and enjoy working with numbers, then maybe you need to outsource this job. Too many business owners spend their time doing what they are not very good at simply because they don’t know how to go about finding someone to do that job for them.
Where do you start? Ask your accountant for referrals. Obviously you don’t need a full-time person to do your books, so your best bet is to look for someone who wants to moonlight at a part-time job. There are also bookkeepers with their own small business who are looking for clients. If you don’t have any other employees, this situation will work best for you because you can pay them as a subcontractor instead of an employee on payroll. However, you will need to give them a Form 1099 at year end for tax purposes. But, since they are accounting experts, they can help you with that task too.
You should interview your prospective bookkeeper just as you would if you were hiring him/her as an employee. Ask for a resume and references, and check them out. Since this person will be handling your confidential records, you want someone who is trustworthy.
Depending on your location, you should expect to pay between $15 and $50 an hour for a bookkeeper. Don’t necessarily hire the one who offers the lowest rate- remember you get what you pay for. The more experienced person will cost you more, but will provide valuable input and suggestions to streamline your business that will wind up saving you money in the long run.
Since this person will be working closely with you in your business, you should feel comfortable with him or her. If you have any reservations about this person, go on to the next candidate.
While the selection process may take a while, it will be worth it later. Take your time to find the perfect bookkeeper, and in a few months you’ll wonder how you ever managed to run your business before you hired one.

The perfect Home Business- Is it right for you?
Title:
The perfect Home Business- Is it right for you?
Summary:
What is the most important thing when considering on starting a home business? It’s not what is easiest, or what everyone else is doing- It’s about you and what you love to do.
Article Body:
Does this sound familiar? You know that your job will never provide you with the lifestyle (lots of money, and lots of free time to enjoy it!) you desire. You know that starting your own business is the answer. You are constantly trying to think of a business you could do. What products could I sell? What could I invent? What do people need that I could provide? Where am I going to get the time to do this? How in the world am I ever going to find the best home-business for me?
You may have heard that if you can just find something you love, the money will come. Well, that's kind of true. You definitely want to pick something that has a market of paying customers but you also have to find something you enjoy.
The happiest people are the ones that are doing what they enjoy! What about you? Do you have a hobby that could be expanded into a small home business? Almost any type of hobby can be turned into a business with low start up costs. First, define your hobby. Is it something you are very knowledgeable about? Are you current and up to date? Would you be more successful on a local level? Is there anyone in your area with a similar business?
Finding the right business is crucial! You could work day and night, put in your 200% effort, and end up even more broke, if you choose the wrong business. The right home business, with the same effort could make you a fortune! Anyone can get into a business, there are literally thousands of them out there. Your goal is to find the business that you will enjoy doing the most.
When you start looking for a business, every business is a possibility. You will need to filter through all these possibilities until you have it narrowed down to your perfect home-business. This "filtering" is done through a Criteria List. This is a list of standards that each business must measure up to, or it gets tossed out!
Some people spend years dreaming about starting their own business. Many are simply unsure of the direction that they'd like to pursue if they took the chance and ventured out on their own.
Just how do you go about making such an important decision? Give yourself sufficient time to be able to formulate honest answers to the following questions.
· What's my "heart's desire" when it comes to work? Think big! Or at least wide. If you're contemplating turning your interest in gardening into a career, expand your horizons to include as many forms of possible work in such a field as you can imagine; from as general as owning a retail garden center to as specialized as inventing and marketing a gardening tool to serve a unique niche such as elderly gardeners. Hand-in-hand with this question is one that often gets overlooked in the excitement associated with being an entrepreneur. Can you imagine doing such work for extended hours and to meet the approval of your customers/clients or would this potentially take away from the enjoyment you now have for such a passion/hobby?
· Do I have the job skills necessary to be successful at such a business? While desire can be a strong driving force, one still needs to know how to drive to reach their goal. While it's not necessary to possess every skill needed for the business you're contemplating on opening, you at least have to identify such skills and determine if you have the time, energy, and/or resources to learn them and/or to ask for outside help in performing various tasks such as bookkeeping or marketing. Answering this question thoroughly also involves analyzing whether you have the right personality to get the job done. If you're not a "people person" and you're considering opening a beauty parlor in your home, you might want to re-evaluate if such a career is the best use of your capabilities.
Most successful entrepreneurs have a strong passion for their ideas or concepts. They know what they want and they know what they enjoy doing. Their work becomes their play. The secret to success in business is to find your passion. Know specifically what it is you want in life. You need to be certain that what you are doing is something that you really and truly want. This is not something that you should want, or that someone else wants. It is something that YOU personally really want.
Imagine you've found your business passion. Picture yourself running your very own dream business. You love every minute of it and your work becomes your play. Consider what effect this will have on your life - now and in the future.
There's no doubt that making the ultimate decision to be self-employed can be both liberating and frightening at the same time. When you go the extra mile and take the time to identify the line of work that will best suit you, you'll be able to appreciate the fact that, for every day you invest in making such an important decision, you'll potentially be adding quality years to the life expectancy of the business you've given birth to.
Research your hobby well and assume you will work very hard to get your first account or sale. Start small and set obtainable goals. Stay focused on your dreams until they are your reality!

Book Keeping For Your Online Business: Why You Should Outsource Book Keeping
Book Keeping For Your Online Business: Why You Should Outsource Book Keeping
As a business owner or as an entrepreneur, you will
need to document all your income and expenses for tax
purposes. Also, it will serve as a good way to track
your finances and make sure that you are not losing
money. If you are business owner, you may want to
outsource book keeping for your online business.
Why?
There are quite a lot of reasons why you should
outsource book keeping services. The first reason is
that you will be able to decrease your work load.
Instead of doing it yourself, you can have someone do
it for you through outsourcing.
Another great advantage in outsourcing book keeping
jobs for your online business is that it is much more
cost effective than having your own book keeper in the
office. This means that you will be able to save more
money for your business or minimize your overhead
cost.
Basically, book keeping involves handling every
financial aspect of your business. Everything will be
recorded here. From business revenues, to profits and
losses incurred by your business, as well as other
expenses, everything will be recorded. You have to
consider that at the time of tax session, you may get
over loaded with work as book keeping work can be
quite time consuming. You will literally have a lot
more work to do and may not have enough time to manage
your business.
And, because of the work load of book keeping, you
have to remember that a mistake in this kind of
records can incur serious penalties, especially if you
are late in submitting it.
Today, you will see different online book keeping
websites that offers book keeping services for a fee.
You have to consider that outsourcing book keeping
will not only save you a lot of time and money, but it
will also increase the efficiency of your business and
the way you run it.
However, before you get the services of a book keeper
and outsource it to a book keeping service company,
you have to remember that you need to make sure that
the book keeping company you plan on outsourcing your
books to should only provide you with the highest
quality of book keeping jobs. You should make sure
that their staff is well trained professionals who are
experienced in book keeping.
Outsourcing your book keeping jobs is definitely the
best way to save you money as well as get your books
done in time. It will help you run your business much
smoother, and because of the low the price of each
book keeping job, you can be sure that it will be much
cheaper to outsource it than having an in house book
keeper.
Outsourcing jobs can help you cut down a huge amount
on your expenses. You will see that you will save a
lot more money in a year through outsourcing book
keeping jobs, rather than have your very own book
keeper working for you full time.
Also, by outsourcing, you can be sure that you will
never have to do the book keeping work yourself. By
doing so, you will be able to attend to more important
things in your business, which means that you will
maximize efficiency and profit of your business.
So, if you want to save money and run your business
more efficiently, you might want to try outsourcing
book keeping for your online business.

Book Keeping For Your Online Business: Choosing Your Book Keeping Provider
Book Keeping For Your Online Business: Choosing Your Book Keeping Provider
It is required by law for businesses, whatever the
size, should keep a record of every financial
transactions of the business. The records will then be
presented to the government on tax time to determine
how much tax businesses have to pay and how much tax
returns they'll get. If you are an owner of an online
business, then you might want to find book keeping for
your online business as this will make it a lot easier
for you to run your business.
Looking for a book keeping service can be quite hard.
Although there are several companies that offer book
keeping services, you have to remember that only few
can offer the service that you want. Even if you are
just a small online business owner, you have to
remember that you deserve nothing less. With a good
book keeping team, you will have a chance to bring
success to your business, but if you choose a book
keeping company that doesn’t provide high quality
service, it can lead to losing money and even complete
bankruptcy.
If you don’t know what to look for in a book keeping
company to give your book keeping job, then here are
some of the basic things that you should look for.
The first is that the book keeping company or the book
keeper you outsource your book keeping jobs to should
be qualified. Basically, you are the only one who will
be able to judge if the book keeping company is
capable of doing its job well. However, you have to
remember that there are general qualifications that
you should look for. For example, a good company that
can offer you good services doesn’t only have to have
qualified people to do the job, but also have people
who are experienced enough to do it. Always remember
that a book keeper doesn’t have to hold an accounting
degree. He or she should also have experience in this
kind of job and they should also understand the
mechanics in business, especially about financial
transactions.
The second is that the book keeping company should
have the right technology. What this means is that
they should already have their own software or program
designed for book keeping. This will save you a lot of
time and money and it is also a big plus for your
business as book keeping programs are designed to give
comprehensive reports and services. And, more
importantly, the staff in the book keeping services
company should be able to know how to work them.
As a client, the book keeping service you hire should
provide you with good support. A good support is not
just about giving you advice on financial problems and
gives you the reports on a regular basis, but support
is about letting you contact them any time of the day.
They should also answer your grievances and disputes
immediately.
A good portfolio is also an important thing that you
should look for when hiring the services of a book
keeper. The more companies and businesses there are
that hires their services, the better their service
may be. You have to remember that the more clients
that the book keeping company has, it will mean that
they are trusted.
Remember these tips and you can be sure that you will
find the right book keeping service for your online
business. With these things, you can be sure that you
will save time and money and also focus more on your
business.
