Know Your Cost of Doing Business
Many entrepreneurs know what they charge, but not what it actually costs to deliver their product or service. Without understanding your true costs, it's easy to underprice your work and reduce your profits.
Take time to calculate your direct costs, overhead, labor, marketing, software, insurance, and other operating expenses. Once you know your cost of doing business, you can price with confidence and make smarter financial decisions.
At BiGAUSTIN, we encourage entrepreneurs to know their numbers before making pricing or growth decisions.
The more you understand your costs, the better you can protect your profits.
Mark your calendar for a powerful three-week virtual workshop series designed to help entrepreneurs strengthen their businesses and prepare for growth!
Join BiGAUSTIN and the Better Business Bureau for three informative sessions:
📅 August 4, 11, and 18
⏰ 12:00 p.m.–1:00 p.m.
💻 Virtual Workshop Series
Attend all three sessions to gain valuable knowledge, practical tools, and helpful resources for your business.
Register today and make plans to join us!

Financial Friday
Build a 90-Day Cash Flow Forecast
One of the best financial habits an entrepreneur can develop is looking beyond today's bank balance. A 90-day cash flow forecast helps you see what's coming so you can prepare instead of react.
Start by listing the income you expect to receive over the next three months. Then map out every expected expense, including rent, payroll, utilities, loan payments, inventory, software subscriptions, insurance, taxes, marketing, and any seasonal costs. Seeing these obligations in advance gives you a clearer picture of when cash may be tight and when you'll have room to invest in your business.
A cash flow forecast also helps you make smarter decisions. You may realize it's better to delay a large purchase, speed up invoicing, follow up on outstanding payments, or explore financing before cash flow becomes a challenge. Planning ahead puts you in control instead of forcing you to make last-minute decisions.
At BiGAUSTIN, we encourage entrepreneurs to plan ahead, not just for today's expenses, but for tomorrow's opportunities. Understanding your cash flow can help you confidently manage your business, prepare for growth, and make informed financial decisions.
A successful business doesn't just manage the money it has today, it plans for the money it will need tomorrow.
