Managing cash flow during the holiday season
Depending on your business type, the December-January period could mean an increase in customers and cash flow, or it may be a slow period for your business.
If your business experiences slower trade over the holiday period you will need to conserve cash as you still need to pay suppliers, rent and your staff, but without the income. If you are a business owner in this category it would probably make sense to put a percentage of your takings during the year, into a separate account to draw upon during this quiet time.

How to prepare for the new year 2019
The start of a new year is an ideal time to reset your business goals or make some new ones. Goal setting is a good way to start the year, much like a new year’s resolution for your business.
Have one or two key goals that you can focus on, one longer term for example over a couple of years, and one over a shorter time frame perhaps 3-6 months. An example of a good business goal would be something that is measurable like; acquire 10 new customers with an average spend of $100 in the next three months.
