A new year always brings a positive mindset and a desire to make changes. On a personal level this could be a change in career, a change in lifestyle or a change in location. On a business front this could be a change of direction, development of new growth plans or an introduction of new products/services.
However, what we often find is that as we fall back into our daily routine, changes seem to be harder to implement and frequently get overlooked or forgotten about. From a business perspective it is vitally important that adequate time is spent planning helping to ensure that business goals and targets become easily achievable.
For most businesses December will bring a quieter and less productive time with many being shut down for the holiday period. This is often when the business planning for the New Year will be finalised. Consideration will be given to what needs to be implemented to achieve success. It could be diversification into new sectors, employment of additional staff, better efficiency processes, new equipment and machinery or a property purchase.
The one area that will need to be clearly defined is financial planning. The simple reason is because none of these changes can be implemented if it has a negative impact on the businesses cashflow. Whether it is allocating capital expenditure for high value items or reviewing current lending facilities when business goals are finalised it is equally important to evaluate budgets and cash flow needs.
