When your business is running smoothly as far as operations are concerned, and also generating a lot of sales, you tend to assume that everything is hunky-dory on the financial front. However, despite their increased revenues, many businesses continue to find themselves in a difficult situation. The reason is simple – many businesses are not able to recognize the fact that with businesses growing, there are other aspects of their organization that are expanding as well. There are now more customers, more employees, more transaction costs, more inventory to manage, more stringent compliance standards, etc. etc. that are driving up overall expenses.
