Business / The Four Most Important Accounting Documents In Your Business by MrSlimmz: 11:06pm On Jun 11, 2019
In order to survive, there are some accounting documents that must be available in your business.

The management of a small business requires the preparation of documents for the filing of business taxes; application for business loans; the internal tracking of revenues; expenses and profitability. There are four main accounting documents that are essential for the performance of the functions listed above:

1. Balance Sheet: A balance sheet is a financial statement. It reports the assets, liabilities and shareholding of a business at a specified point in time. Even more, it provides a snapshot of what the business owns and owes. Also, it portrays what its owners own in the business.

It is often supported by the Income Statement and Cash Flow Statement. Hence, the Balance Sheet is a core financial statement used in valuing the net worth of a business.

The goal of the bookkeeper (and the business) is to maintain a balanced balance sheet. Albeit, this is a condition in which everything the business owns (total assets) equals its liabilities plus the valuation of what the owners own in the business.

2. Income Statement:
The Income Statement is often called the profit and loss statement. Furthermore, it is a summary of the revenues and expenses of the business during the year. Also, it is used in calculating the net profit or loss of the business in a trading year.

The income statement is also critical to determining the break-even point of a start-up business, and the profitability of a business over a period.

3. Cash Flow Statement:
A business needs enough cash on hand to cover its expenses. Hence, failure to achieve and maintain this state of affairs can have a negative effect on the financial health of a business.

Expenses represent the cost of doing business and include anything that prevents the gross revenue of the business from going straight into its bottom line. They consist of items like salaries and wages, rent, utilities, costs of inputs for goods sold, taxes, interest on debt, and sundry operating costs. Click here to continue reading

You have been dreaming that some day you will start and run your own business. You are currently employed in a big company and are steadily progressing in your chosen career.

Nairaland / General / Keeping Good Records Will Improve Your Credit Worthiness by MrSlimmz: 4:15pm On Apr 03, 2019
One reason financial institutions give for not approving credit applications from small businesses is that they do not have records of their transactions. It is common to find businesses that have been trading for many years but do not keep books.

This situation is made worse in the case of many Small Business Owners. Just as the businesses they run do not have records, they too do not keep records of their financial transactions. This chaos in their personal affairs Invariably spills into the running of their businesses, and stands as a big minus when they apply for credit on behalf of their businesses, particularly when they are required to support the loan applications with personal guarantees.

Here are five simple steps you can take to remedy this condition, and boost your credit worthiness as a Small Business Owner?

1. Cultivate the discipline of saving. Saving money will help you live a frugal but prosperous life. It will help you develop and maintain the habit of not spending all the money that you earn. It will help you understand the importance of budgeting your income and expenditure, and enable you to meet your basic expenses while setting aside portions of your earnings to be invested in maintaining and growing your business.

To this end, a continually updated listing of your banking and investment accounts will greatly ease your effort to track your savings.

2. Keep Spending Records. It so often happens that the average Small Business Owner is hardly sure about where his or her money goes. Or, he or she feels that you the spendings are much more than they ought to. Not to worry. It is time to start storing your purchase receipts in one big envelope.

When you buy big-ticket items, keep the receipts. Once a month, sit down, record your spendings according to categories and total them to produce your spending for the month.

You may choose to do this on a simple spreadsheet.

3. Keep Tax Records. You must organise your records if you plan to get the deductions you are entitled to under the tax law. You should create files or folders for your income, expenses, deductions and any other bits and pieces of information that will make it easy for you to file your taxes....

Nairaland / General / Finding Your Place In The Palm Oil Business by MrSlimmz: 6:17pm On Mar 25, 2019
Mr. Godwin Emefiele, Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, has outlined the apex bank’s plan to develop a sustainable financing model to boost the production of palm oil.

At a meeting with Governors from the South-East and South-South palm oil producing states, on Monday last week, Emefiele said the Bankers’ Committee has created a special sub-committee to introduce measures to enhance access to capital by smallholders in the palm oil value chain.

The scheme will disburse loans to identified core borrowers, at not more than nine percent interest rate per year, through the CBN’s Anchor Borrowers Programme (ABP) and Commercial Agriculture Credit Scheme (CASC).

Lamenting that Nigeria spends $500 million yearly on importation of palm oil, despite its inclusion in the foreign exchange exclusion list, Mr. Emefiele says: “We intend to support improved production of palm oil to meet not only the domestic needs of the market, but to also increase our exports in order to improve our foreign exchange earnings.”

Noting that in the late 1950s and 1960s, Nigeria was the world’s leading producer and the largest exporter of the product, with 40 per cent market share, Emefiele moans: “Today we are a distant fifth among leading producers of palm oil. We barely produce up to three per cent of the global output with an estimated production of 800,000 MT while countries like Malaysia and Indonesia produce 25 million and 41 million tonnes.”
