Another reason is that the boss took funds out of the business for his own personal use. I have heard of a boss that took large amounts of money to invest in what eventually turned out to be a ponzi.

Indeed. It is also related to overspending which is not necessary. Personal agendas are not a good thing when it comes to using the money. It should be controlled and be responsible.

Business owners feel that since they are the directors, they can draw from the business anyhow they want. They don't know that it is hurting the business.

Yes this is what business owners fail to know. when you draw from the business anyhow then it means at that instance you are hurting the business which isn't helpful at all.

I have seen a lot of start up failures due to overspending. Due to inaccurate sales forecast, they tend to rent a top grade office, entertaining customers at top restaurants, and give out credits to customers easily resulting in having lots of bad debts.

Funds get easily depleted in business when there's no budget to track the expenses and no discipline to limit the amount of spendings to an extent whereby business does not have to suffer.

Funds can quickly depleted in company when it is running on breakeven point. When the expenditures are more than receipt. A company should examines its current account very well. He should look at the rate money is coming in and used it as yardstick in determining its expenditures.
Any recurrent expenses that is not budgeted for should not be incurred. Also, cost of production should be used to determine the product prices and not the market values of the substituted products in the markets.

When you are not careful about the nature of expenses that you get into when you are running a business it's usually affects the general profit-making of your business.

One thing that makes funds easily depleted is poor planning. When a business wants to produce at a capacity beyond what it can handle financially, their funds would surely deplete.

"He who fail to plan would definitely plan to fail".
Planning perform major roles in business operations. Planning includes how much is expected as revenue, how much to be spent as expenditure, how much to be committed into savings etc.
If proper planning is not done, it could result in financial wastage because expenses not budgeted would be incurred. This is what usually causes funds depleted.

 

[Sophie]

The major reason why people deplete there fund is majorly because of lack of self discipline
When you are not disciplined enough you tend to spend funds aimlessly and it later leads to depleted fund

When there is poor financial management, the business capital will get depleted very quickly.

In most cases it usually due to lack of proper planning. Evey business needs a plan. So they would know how to run the business and as manage the resources they have.
