It is very important to identify to the root of the crisis so that it will not happen again and that is why we always need to supervise our business even if it is very small but we should supervise them by ourselves

When facing financial crisis, one should stay calm. Reduce costs and prioritize what to pay. Manage cashflow efficiently. Send out invoices on time and follow up with customers who haven't paid; talk to creditors. Look for for possible subsidy by government, or loan from banks.

And you can also handle financial crisis by observing how are you spent money and also the reason for the financial crisis so that when the business comes back up, it will not happen again

Like the two of you have rightly said, you have to observe and supervise your business intently so as to avert possible financial crisis rocking the business. This is very important.

And this is why it is important to keep records of the way you spend money or record of every money you spent in your company so that you will know where the problem is coming from but if you do not keep record you will repeat the same mistake

Every small business is facing serious financial challenges. It is not easy for a small business owner to to keep records of financial transaction. It is easy said that done. Most small business owners depend on the small business for survival. When the expenditure is more than the profit, the business is bound to collapse.

I think it is easy for a small business owner to keep records of every of his pending and I can give examples because my mum keeps records of every money that she has spent so that by the end of the week she would know how well the business is doing

The reason why she could be able to do it is because there is another income that is sustaining the family.

And another thing I noticed is that you should be able to take your business seriously because there are people who do not take their business seriously and at the end of the day the business

In my view, we need to work hands on in our companies. Financial crisis will be handled by checking the casflow, expenses, balance sheet, etc. In this way, we can prevent this bad situation in business.

In a situation like this, the first thing you should do is find out how much is actually coming into the business within that period, the number of productivity and how much is spent on buying materials. This is where you would make your adjustments.

I will always stress it for new entrepreneurs whenever they want to start up a new business for them to make sure that they eliminate all possible unnecessary expenses because it is a business killer.
