Over 95% of businesses fail within the first 5 years. A major reason for this failure can be traced either directly or indirectly to bookkeeping and accounting. As we are all aware, finance is the lifeblood of any business and finance is the foundation of any capital raising either via equity or debt. Also, to ensure your business is in order and will continue as a going concern, understanding your finance and accounting is critical.
The number 1 requirement of any investor and debtor is a financial plan that shows how well you have been doing and your future projections. Without proper bookkeeping, this becomes a challenge.
Also, a lot of businesses fail because Entrepreneurs are not making critical business decisions based on data. With proper bookkeeping, you will easily identify products that are doing well, when and where they are doing well and possibly understand the Why. This then can aid your decisions and strategy. You will also identify products that are not doing well.
