Why Financial Risk Management Matters
Without safeguards, one bad quarter, lawsuit, or crisis can wipe out years of progress. By planning for financial risk, you protect not just your money, but your people and your reputation. Smart entrepreneurs prepare for the storm before it comes.

Action Step for You
Review your finances and ask: if revenue dropped 30% tomorrow, how long could my business survive? Write down one step you can take this month to strengthen your safety net - whether it’s saving, diversifying, or cutting unnecessary costs.
Closing
