Financial Advice Service
Owners of small businesses often have to be jacks-of-all-trades. In addition to overseeing the operational portion of their business (which is usually their field of expertise), they also need to handle human resource management, IT services, and importantly, the financial side of things.
That’s why, within the uncertainty of running a small business, you can rely on Auto & General’s Business Assist to support the day-to-day operation of your business, allowing you to focus on your core competence.
Our Financial Advice Service gives you expert, professional telephonic financial advice on a wide range of personal finance topics. It also offers comprehensive support solutions that cover areas such as:
Budgeting
A detailed and realistic budget allows you to operate your business within its means. It enables you to identify the capital available and to estimate future expenditure and revenue. In addition, a proper budget will allow you to measure your business’s financial performance.
Financial planning
A financial plan is a road map for the future of your business. It also helps you manage your cash flow so that you can build up a cash reserve to carry your business during periods of lower-income.
Investing
Since cash flow is the lifeblood of a small business, some business owners may be reluctant to sacrifice it. However, investment is crucial for the growth of your business, and it is one of the safest ways to increase your capital.
Debt counselling
If your business becomes overwhelmed by debt, a debt counsellor can negotiate with your credit providers to find ways to make your debt more manageable.
