- Create a budget: Create a budget for the upcoming year, taking into account the expected income for each period. This will help you ensure that you have enough cash on hand to cover expenses when income is lower.
- Allocate a percentage of your income: Even if your income is inconsistent, allocate a percentage of your income for specific purposes, such as profit, taxes, and reserves. This will ensure that you consistently set aside funds for important business expenses and you will be able to make informed decisions on how to allocate your resources.
- Keep a reserve: Have a reserve account to help you through the lean seasons. This account should have enough money to cover your expenses for at least three to six months.
