Working Capital
Any business manager can tell us that their biggest headache, after dealing with the tax burden is the management of working capital. For many, this simple concept may explain why companies lose money despite being well positioned in the market and targeting a captive market.
Working capital is the amount of resources that should be the company to perform their daily operations, i.e. payroll, manufacturing materials or finished products, electricity, rent, etc.
This concept is also comparable to natural persons; you need a lot of money to cover your monthly obligations, the mortgage, school children, etc.
The problems of working capital in companies, usually of two types: (i) mismatch between the collection and payment of debt, (ii) lack of control of cash received. Any resemblance to reality is purely coincidental personal.
Mismatch between receipts and payments: do you know the day of cutting your credit card?, Do you have a schedule of their obligations when due?, Then you may not be taking advantage of the best collection of its weeks with their payments, it is possible that if you generate income through other means does not have an estimate of when you will receive and if you have not received is because you may not need a collection strategy, which ultimately can lead to many problems.
As mentioned above, the handling of personal finance is not far from their management companies do, if you do for your company, then why not do it for you?, It is not needed to make large calculations at work, the figures are usually much smaller and simpler operations, perhaps that takes away the emotion, but it should not take long.
Lack of control of cash received: this is twofold The first relates to the amount of money you are committing versus what you get, that is, if you’re spending more than you have or do not know where the money spent . The second aspect is whether to receive income, a distribution made in a structured manner, making the appropriate sections which include what you’re willing to spend for entertainment, etc.
The solution to the above problems, as well as in the case of companies, lies in making a control of the money coming in and going out, get help if you can not, talk to your partner and solve together, this may be a good time family union looking for something that allows them to work together.
The good news is that in making these adjustments, the results are quickly and make you feel much better and happier.
