Budget Tips for Small Business Owners

1

Pay yourself a consistent "salary"

Set a fixed monthly draw from your business regardless of revenue swings. Budget personal expenses against this amount, not total business revenue.

2

Separate accounts completely

Business checking, personal checking, tax savings, emergency fund — minimum 4 accounts. EyeCash tracks the personal side so you see the full picture.

3

Fund retirement aggressively

Solo 401k allows $23,000 + 25% of net self-employment income (up to $69,000 total). This is the biggest tax advantage available to business owners.

4

Build 6 months of personal expenses in savings

Business downturns shouldn't threaten your family's stability. Personal emergency fund is separate from business reserves.
