Your money is what keeps your business running, make no mistake. The idea and your services are important ways of using that money successfully. But if you have more money to use successfully, then your chances of doing so are even higher. That’s why entrepreneurs need to know when to be tight-fisted. These are the times you should consider how you wring every last penny out in your favor.

Your capital

The first concern of most businesses is making sure they get all the capital they need. Many startups will settle for one investor if they can get close to what they wanted to be offered. There’s no reason to settle, however. By diversifying where you look for your funds, you have more chance of getting what you need. Consider banks, angel investors, crowd-funding and more as part of one strategy. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.

Your services

Then look at what that money is going. Most of your costs will be to other businesses. Negotiation is a vital part of the purchasing process. If you’re not doing it, you need to consider learning how right now. It’s not about finding the lowest price with many vendors. It’s about negotiating with a few and framing it as a partnership deal.

Your credit

If you want to have more money to be able to use for the business, then you need to take a closer look at your credit. Before starting to look for funding, take care of any debts and get up to date on loans. You never know when you might need credit to facilitate growth or deal with a payroll emergency. It can also help you do a lot better in the bigger purchases like office space.

Your tax

Tax is what most business owners would consider an unfortunate reality. But you can make it a lot less unfortunate for you if you have the right people on your side. First, a quality tax attorney won’t just make sure you’re not paying too little. They can also help you see where you’re paying too much, spotting deductions and cuts you can make. You might not have to pay as much to the taxman as you first thought.

Your inventory

Your stock is worth as much as your money, of course. It’s how you make it. So are you sure that all of it is being put towards making money? Or is there a problem of loss you might have to address? Loss happens in two forms you should be concerned with. First, are your production methods as efficient as they could be? Second, are you doing your best to fight employee theft? Don’t let your hard-bought materials go to waste.

It pays to remember that you’re not trying to get a better deal just for the sake of having more money. This is what’s going to go back into your business, to help you grow and succeed. So long as you have the right motive, you should always be looking at how to end up with more cash.
