The Secret to Small Business Cashflow: Seasonality and How to Compute It
Like so many things in life, there is a season for everything...turn, turn, turn....including your business. Sometimes your business is smoking hot and other times your business is in famine mode.
We're already a few weeks into summer, which is a common time for customer behaviors to change. If this time of year doesn't affect your business, when do you see the peaks and valleys? Understanding the seasonal changes to your business is crucial. Being able to identify your peaks to take advantage of them or recognize slower periods to see what changes you need to make could mean all the difference to your bottom line.
