The core and most important step in business set up is the financial aspect, and entrepreneur has to make a detailed financial plan so as to track the progress of the business. I would say, there's no business without a financial plan, the capital you'll need for your business, the tax you'll pay, the cost of the materials you'll use and so on will be included in your financial plan, without all these then the business can't start. So I would say that financial planning is a very important factor for an entrepreneur.

Savings in business play a very big role in the success of a business, once a business makes savings it will help avoid debts during a bad period for this business which will likely result in paying high interest rates on loans. Savings in a business will help avoid the fall of a business.

In a business, there's always a period that comes with unforseen circumstances and unexpected expenses comes in, how well was this business prepared for this? If the business made savings it will convert up unexpected expenses and also help reduce financial stress in a business.
