Financial Visibility: Money at the Start Phase
A zone of Start to Exit: The Bizer Blueprint, where Money meets the Start phase.
Financial Visibility is the first rung of the Money pillar. It means you can answer one question at any moment: what is coming in, and what is going out? Most owners guess. This zone replaces the guess with a number.
What it takes
- Open a business bank account and keep personal and business money apart.
- Track every dollar of income and expense in one place.
- Keep a simple bookkeeping system and do a short monthly review.
- Set basic prices on purpose, from your cost plus a margin.
What it is worth
Twenty-five points toward the Start band, and the base every other Money zone stands on. A helpful skill here is Price a Job. Next rung up: Financial Control.
