What is the corporate budget and Why is it important for a business?

Deepa Sharma by Deepa Sharma

corporate budget

Forecast revenues and expenses over a certain period of time serve as a plan of action for leaders and a point of comparison at a period’s end. A perfect corporate budget may not be achievable, but a better budgeting process can be viable. The COVID-19 outbreak has affected the cash flow across the sectors, but now in 2022, things have changed. CFOs and financial leaders must consider broader opportunities and prospects for their businesses and address them accordingly. 

What is the corporate budget?

A corporate budget can be defined as comparing the revenue generated by a business with its monthly or annual expenses. A budget is a forecast of the expenses one has to endure shortly. Budgeting is a common practice adopted by the business to set goals, priorities, spending capabilities, etc. 

A corporate budget allows company leaders to ensure their businesses run and meet their goals. Running a business means that the business leader would need to keep funds at hand to meet business expenses as most of the time, invoices are not cleared on time by their clients for services rendered.

Company executives need to consider certain factors while chalking a budget for their business– 

  • Capital expenditure projections to meet large expenses such as purchasing business assets like machinery or a commercial real estate property.
  • Ongoing fund requirements
  • Revenue shortfalls as profits in business vary from one month to the other.
  • The overall economic conditions of their nation.

Why budgeting is important for business

Without a set of plans, how would you lead the business? The business may find difficulties allocating resources, spending & revenues, and you may not understand how the company is performing.

A budget help business leaders understand the in-hand money and the past and future expenditures to set the plan moving forward with control. It helps organizations manage money more effectively. As a result, resources and funds can be allocated sufficiently. The team can plan and set commitments for future projects. On top of all, budgeting helps organizations make more effective decisions.

Budgeting helps them drive critical business decisions like reducing unnecessary expenses, managing resources efficiently, spending on technologies, etc. If your organizations lack money, budgeting can help you change your business plan or prioritize your spending on activities. A better corporate budget may help the company out of debt or help reduce the existing debt.  

What are the different types of budgets?

  • Master budget: represents the expense projections of a company for the entire financial year. Master budgets include expected annual revenue, expected annual expenses, expected operating costs, expected sales, and expected capital expenditures.
  • Static budget: represents the fixed expenses that a CEO would need to bear irrespective of the annual or monthly revenue generated by their business.
  • Operating budget: is the projection of daily expenses as well as revenue generated.
  • Cash-flow budget: is the projection of cash generated by a business at a given point in its operating timeline.
  • Flexible budget: is the scalable projection of variable and fixed expenses.

How can budgeting help?

With an efficient corporate budget on their side, company executives can make sure that they have the funds needed to bear business-critical expenses like –

  • Marketing and promotion
  • Professional services
  • Tech Spendings 
  • Payroll
  • Utilities, etc.

How to choose the best budget?

It all boils down to the type of business an entrepreneur is running. A static budget can do the trick for most companies, but entrepreneurs need to implement a flexible budget for a growing business. Entrepreneurs will choose the budgeting process based on their necessities, specifications, and perspective.

Closing remarks

Based on the company’s size and strength, executives need to understand better the different types of budgets and ways to formulate them. It is the only way to future-proof a business and make informed corporate decisions.
