Separate accounts
You should always separate your bank accounts to keep your personal and corporate life separate. This will help you keep track of your expenses as well as business income. It will also make it easier to track operational expenses and manage income.

Pay yourself a salary.
If you run a business, pay yourself a salary just like you pay all your employees. This ensures your financial stability. Apart from this, you can plan and consider investment strategies according to your capital.

Make financial planning
Make financial plans that take into account all expenses, such as operations expenses, marketing, personal finance, and family expenses. Follow all these budgets strictly. Review them at the end of the month to ensure that there is no excessive spending in any one sector and make changes as needed according to income and personal expenses.

Create an emergency fund.
Business and personal life change, and both should have some savings that can act as a "piggy bank" that can be used when needed. This emergency fund can protect many unknown situations or financial problems.

Seek professional advice
Seek advice from financial experts like CAs or financial planners. Apart from this, you can also improve your skills so that you can better analyze your and the company's financial situation. Having professional skills helps you make informed decisions for your business and personal budget.
