Record Keeping for SMEs

Why good record keeping helps Kenyan SMEs control money, customers, stock and profit.

Record keeping is one of the most important habits in a small business. Without records, the owner is forced to guess.

Record sales daily

Sales should be recorded by amount, date, customer where needed and payment method.

Record expenses immediately

Expenses affect profit. If they are forgotten, the business may look more profitable than it really is.

Keep customer and supplier records

Customer balances, supplier bills and invoices should be easy to find.

Use records for decisions

Good records help owners decide what to buy, what to reduce and where money is leaking.
