A budget is your plan for expected income and expenses over a set period — usually a month.
It’s the roadmap that shows where you want your money to go before it ever leaves your account.

📊 Why it matters for small businesses & informal entrepreneurs:

• ✅ Set clear targets — know how much you need to earn to cover costs
• ✅ Control spending — spot unnecessary expenses early
• ✅ Forecast cash flow — see if you’ll have enough XOF to keep operations running smoothly

🧮 Simple example:

• Projected revenue: 800 000
• Planned expenses:
  • • Rent: 150 000
  • • Supplies: 200 000
  • • Transport: 50 000
  • • Utilities & mobile: 30 000
  • • Miscellaneous: 20 000

Total expenses: 450 000
Surplus target: 350 000

That 350 000 is what you aim to save, reinvest, or use to pay down debt.
