According to a new report, 73 percent of small businesses plan only up to six months ahead.  These businesses focus too much on their daily operations and do not look far enough forward.  Only 6 percent of the surveyed businesses said they had a five-year plan. 

This new data can be alarming as it shows that most Australian small businesses do not have a long-term perspective in terms of planning.  Employees should not live paycheck to paycheck just as small businesses should focus more on long-term change and growth.

The report also shows that more Australian small business owners are conservative about their growth aspirations.  A third were focused only on maintaining their current business levels.  Their conservative mindset could be due to the numerous difficulties they have faced in the last few years, after small businesses found difficulty in accessing finance and in payments that led to cash flow issues.  However, it is still important for business owners to plan the future ahead.

As the new financial year opens, small businesses are encouraged to start planning for their future and long-term success. 

Think about digitising processes, reporting and financial records.  Digital invoices should also be considered as it will likely uptake in the next few years. Reducing payment times for positive cash flow and profitability is also important for many small businesses.

The future of small businesses revolves around technology and owners need to plan as early as now, as business digitisation is slowly being mandated by the government.
