It goes without saying that small and micro-businesses are the backbones of the Indian economy. However, most owners manage their businesses based on their instincts. No matter how passionate they are about their business, they often miss out on the big picture. Business reports can help bridge this gap by empowering them to make sound decisions.

Business reports provide useful insights on spends, profits, and growth. They also provide important details that can be used to help develop future forecasts, marketing plans, guide budget planning, and improve decision-making.

Different types of business reports that your small business needs:

• Transactional reports: These provide insights on daily transactions such as daybooks, sales reports, etc.
• Inventory reports: These offer detailed insights on inventory and help you plan item stocks better.
• Party reports: These give you an overview of all your receivables from your customers and payables from your vendors.
• Business finance reports: These provide a big picture view of all your business finances like cash flow, profit/loss, balance sheet, etc
• Expense/Income reports: These offer detailed insight on overall business expenses and income.

To sum up, no more relying on someone else’s advice. These business reports empower you to take better and informed decisions for your business.

Why small businesses struggle with reports

Getting all these reports in place can be quite challenging for most small businesses. Firstly, there is often more than one aspect of the business one has to look at in order to create one. Further, on the other hand, most big businesses and organizations have dedicated teams that put in hours to get these reports in place.
