Starting a business takes hustle, grit, and putting in the work but there's one part we don't often think about enough and that's the money. It takes more than just a good idea to launch a successful company, you need capital and it's hard to imagine all of the expenses you'll have until you're in it and there's no way out of it.

So, we designed a simple budget checklist to help you prepare for what lies ahead. We always recommend keeping a little extra on the side for the unexpected, too. It always pays to be prepared.
