The budget behind the request

Use the business’s current trading record as the starting point. Expected growth can explain a plan, but it should remain distinct from sales already made or payments received.

Possible uses

Business expenses to describe

01

Business equipment

Identify the machine, tool or system the business needs to buy. Include delivery and setup so the request reflects the cost of putting it into use.

02

Inventory

Connect a stock order to the products you sell and the period in which you expect to sell them. Separate confirmed supplier prices from preliminary estimates.

03

Operating expenses

List the bills that fall due before expected customer receipts. Define the period covered so the request has a clear purpose and end point.
