Is your pay due for a review?
When you’re running a business, it’s easy to pay everyone else first and take whatever is left. But your own income deserves some planning too.
A good starting point is to ask:
➡ What would you pay someone else to do your job? Consider your responsibilities, experience and hours.
➡ What can the business consistently afford? Look beyond today’s bank balance to upcoming bills, tax commitments and quieter periods.
➡ What needs to stay in the business? Allow for equipment, extra staff, unexpected costs and future growth.
No single figure suits every business owner. The aim is to balance supporting your household with keeping the business in a healthy position.
