If you\u2019re looking into budgeting for your startup and are just starting to build a business plan, you may not yet know what to expect regarding the ins and outs of business expenses and costs. Researching potential expenses associated with a business of the caliber you have in mind can help guide you as you create a working budget to follow. After all, whether it’s a personal or business budget, we never want to be blindsided by unexpected expenses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set aside a contingency fund<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re running a business or just taking control of your finances, everyone should have some sort of contingency fund in their working budget. Set aside savings in your budgeting, as there will always be unexpected costs. From car issues to property damage at your office (a reason to ensure you have business insurance), unexpected situations arise, and having some money to spare in your working budget will go far in keeping you out of the negative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
