Like for example, we checked a company that provides business training services and what we found is that the half of the revenues which the company generate came from their Advanced excel training course. Therefore, when they looked at the result, they were shocked as the main motive of the Advanced excel training course was to provide some publicity to their consultancy services. Hence, due to the budgeting tool, they were able to find out an additional line of business that had a huge potential. So, they start putting more resources into it and turned it into an new income stream. Moreover, at the same time they also put aside a particular amount of resources which helped them launch a new solution service that helped them cut short their budgeting time into half, however, if they had taken the help of budget planners then they could have consolidated those numbers with the click of a mouse button.
Therefore, budgeting becomes a profitable method for management, as they mostly don’t have enough time to follow up with the activities. Hence, this way they can easily transfer the project to someone who’s suitable enough and someone who can concentrate on the work in hand. Thus, budgeting will help in improving your business strategy by a large extent.
