A lot of small scale business owners today have come up with the notion or mindset that only large scale business owners should engage in the financial activity of budgeting which in all ramification is wrong. As long as you are a business owner managing an administrating a business whether established in large scale or small scale it is expected that you understand that your business is a center for money inflow and outflow and in order to make sure that you allocate the right amount of money today right amount of activity to yield expected and planned results you must budget.

No matter the kind of revenue your business make in terms of size and capacity it is expected that you allocate reasonable amount of money for your business welfare and that can only be done when you budget in which you speculate money for various business activities without confusion. Majority of small scale business owners today have been able to grow and develop because they've engaged in the financial activity of budgeting.
 
Businesses of all sizes, more so the small businesses must have their budgets because it is vital for a number of reasons. It will take into account revenue and expenses and would establish objectives thereby it is one of the essential financial planning tools. Moreover, it also controls expenditure by keeping an eye on costs with a view to preventing over spending. In other words, budgeting helps improve resource allocation thus enabling efficiency in allocation by organizations. With this regard, cash flow management can be said to achieve its best because trade inflows and outflows can be projected thus enhancing optimal cash flows by companies. Besides, budgeting itself could be seen as another way of managing risk since it helps organizations identify and reduce potential financial risks that they may encounter while transacting their business activities.
 
I believe you talking about budgeting and mentioning small businesses only is just a way to narrow down your content to a specific area. Small or large businesses should ensure proper budgeting. If you don't budget there would be mismanagement of organizational funds, things that are not needed would be purchased while the important ones left out. Budget will checkmate our spending at any point in time. It will also help use spend on the right things and have more left to attend to other business needs.
 
For me l think that the budgeting is very important exercise for everyone be it businesses, individuals among others. Budgeting is very crucial on the business as it aids in the financial planning and the overall expenditure on the business' money.
The small businesses when we come to the context, they are well known for the lack of enough funds for the business sustainability and growth.
So the wise planning on the business finances would take those business to higher scaling of the businesses.
