Managing Your Business

A boss of mine one time said "You are a MANAGER, learn to manage your staff"

The way you do that is to get a good reporting system and learn to analysis those reports.  Then when you see potential problems ask questions and make sure you are getting good reliable answers.

Some of the reports that will help you are profit and loss statements, Balance Sheets and Cash Flow reports but there are many other reports that may give you specific information about your business.

You can take advantage of software programs to automate these reports and many others.  Some software programs can be totally revamped and customized to your specific needs:

• What are your assets? Assets are the things that a business owns. Tracking your equipment, furniture, real estate and other holdings should be easy.

  But to have a true idea of the value of your business, you also have to track changes in the value of those assets. Similarly, you also will want to track the declining value of assets such as computers and office furniture.

• What are your liabilities? Liabilities are what the business owes. But what you owe isn't always as obvious as a bill from your landlord. Payroll taxes are a liability that you might be able to put off on a monthly or quarterly basis, depending on the size of your payroll. Loans are a clear liability, but in repaying them you'll want to be able to track how much of a payment is applied against principal and interest.
• What's it costing you to produce what you sell? If you're buying a finished item for resale, this is relatively easy. It's trickier if you have to calculate all the factors, such as labor, that go into manufacturing a product.
• What's it costing you to sell what you sell? Advertising, marketing, labor, storage and the catchall category of overhead — it's useful to know how much it costs you getting a product out the door as well as what it costs you in creating it.
• What's your gross profit margin? This is calculated by dividing your total sales into your gross profit. If your gross profit margin is staying consistent or trending upward, you're probably on track in terms of adjusting your prices appropriately to reflect changes in what you pay for what you sell or produce.

  Being able to track a declining margin can give you a heads-up that you must adjust your prices or your costs. In the worst cases, of course, your gross profit and your profit margin disappear altogether. At that point, you'll be like the fellow who lost money on every sale but figured he could make it up in volume. Don't go there.

• What's your debt-to-asset ratio? If you have a loan at the bank they are calculating this regularly and watching it closely.  Manage it before the bank puts undo pressure on you.
  
  This ratio can let you know how much of the stuff you have in your company is actually owned by someone else — your lender. Having this ratio climb can be a bad sign — it can happen as part of a major expansion, but it can also indicate that you're getting in over your head.
• What's the value of your accounts receivable? This is the money that you are owed. Value of being able to track it: If accounts receivable are on the rise, you may be getting a warning that the folks you sell to are starting to stumble. That's especially true if your accounts receivable, as a percentage of total sales, are increasing.
• What's your average collection time on accounts receivable? This is probably one of the most aggravating pieces of information for cash-strapped businesses, because it tells you how many days you're acting as 'banker' for the people who owe you money. To calculate it, you'll need to know your average daily sales and then divide that number into your accounts receivable.
• What are your accounts payable? The flip side of accounts receivable. An increase in your accounts payable may merely reflect a policy of taking a little longer to pay bills, or of a larger amount of purchases overall. But an increase that hasn't been planned or managed can be an internal warning that your company's financial strength is waning.
• What's happening with your inventory? There are occasions, even in this just-in-time business world, when building up a significant inventory can be a good thing.

  If prices for items you sell or use in production are relatively low, putting some of your money into inventory may make sense.

  Being able to track your inventory, and how long it takes to be sold or turn over, can tell you whether business is increasing or slowing down. It also tells you how much money that might be used for other payments or investments is tied up in this unproductive asset.

Although this may seem difficult, it is essential to your business, don't be afraid to turn to professionals and outside services for help.
