For those small business owners who are just starting out, advice – good and sound business advice can often make all the difference. Those tentative initial steps are always fraught with what appear to be insurmountable problems. Even a tiny problem assumes a large Goliath-like shadow that can be quite frightening. So lets take a look at some of the best financial advice for small businesses.

Advice One: Access your capital now

Access to capital can be difficult for small businesses. Bankers seem to excel at throwing extra hurdles in the way of the small business owner and because the small business owner usually lacks political and financial leverage, getting access to capital can be huge challenge.

Our advice is to seek a business advisor or consultant to not only help you assemble the right document in the right way, but can also press your case with the banker and win the day for you.

Even if you are not a new start-up, you might need access to capital to expand your business, or buy a patent or formulae, or refinancing any old debt, advertisement, establishing a line of credit (LOC) and so forth. There are any number of reasons why you might need access to capital.

Advice Two: Engage Rather Than Employ

Sometimes a consultant or business expert will ask you to employ them to help chart a course of action to solve some problem your businesses has. The best advise we can give is to put that consultant on a retainer – kind of pay-as-you-go thing. As when his or her services are used, they present an invoice for payment. That way they are on call to come to your rescue as and when required but you don't have to shell out a heft monthly salary.

Advice Three: Don't start heavy

Most grand businesses of today had humble beginnings – small office, tiny but dedicated, well cared for staff. As a businesses owner you no doubt dream big and want to be up there with the biggies. But starting lean means you are saving the capital for where it really counts – advancing your businesses with Business Advice Services Parramatta. Like spending money on product advertisement or establishing new dealerships, establishing new markets, testing a prototype and so forth. There will be many areas where money is required to be spent i.e. areas that really count vis-a-viz the business.

Starting lean also has another advantage – you get to test the market and if things don't work out as planned, a lean business can be folded up quickly.

As a business owner if you are careful at the start, you will in all probability be successful and continue to grow.
