Costs can be divided by type into variable and fixed.

Variable costs include costs that are affected by production and sales volumes. These include the costs of raw materials and materials, storage and transportation of products. Unlike variable costs, fixed costs remain unchanged. Even if volumes decline, fixed costs remain the same.

Fixed expenses include:

payment of rent and utilities
payment of wages
hospitality expenses
depreciation
insurance payment

How to store cash reserves

It is better to keep a financial safety net in accounts or deposits, as these are highly liquid assets. With this method, you can use them at any time. It takes longer to sell stocks and bonds. A convenient option would be a bank deposit on which interest is charged. And if the bank is deprived of its license, the insurance system will protect your funds.

Decide on the timing of the formation of reserves

Experts advise creating financial reserves that will be enough for about 3-4 months for the company to survive. Sometimes the period can be extended by six months or a year. Not all companies have such long-term crises, so it is better to spend the freed up savings on development.

Identifying your firm's risks

Natural disasters, policy changes, and other global situations can be difficult to pinpoint. But you can predict what you will do if production declines.
