One of the most challenging aspects for a small business is seasonal dips in income. But there are proactive ways to predict, plan for and overcome these dips in revenue.
The key to dealing with seasonal dips is to know when they’re most likely to occur, and to have measures in place to spread your income and revenue pipeline over the course of the year.
Understanding seasonality in your sector
If your business operates in a seasonal industry, you’ll be used to the peaks and troughs, but many 'non-seasonal' businesses experience times during the financial year where sales and revenue peak – and, on the flipside, where sales and revenue experience a pronounced dip.
When income is low at certain times of the year, it makes for challenging times.
So, what are the key ways to plan for this kind of seasonality?
