Good financial management is essential, especially in businesses where seasonality and variation is such an important factor. The high season needs to be properly managed to maximise profitability. Building in flexibility to your operations and scaling down efficiently without losing good staff long term or over stocking basic consumables is key to ensuring your business remains profitable.
