1. Make a projection of expenses
The prediction of expenses requires drawing up a detailed list of everything that will be necessary for the realization of the event. Once the nature of the event is established, it will be necessary to identify the necessary infrastructure, personnel, marketing activities, and, in particular, the service providers.
Once you have an overview of all expenses, you will need to place them in order of priority. This will make it easier to decide which expenses can be removed and which are indispensable, should you be forced to make cuts.
2. Choose how to monetize the event
Just as it is essential to keep expenses under control, it is equally important to predict earnings. This simplifies the monitoring of expenditure items and makes it easier to decide how much to invest and on what.
Selling tickets online is an excellent solution, as the platforms that handle them facilitate the purchasing and selling process, in addition to providing a complete picture with all the sales statistics. Furthermore, don't forget the importance of establishing partnerships with companies operating in the sports sector to increase mutual visibility and have more funds available.
3. Be precise in managing financial resources
It is possible to monitor the inflow and outflow of your resources through a record of financial transactions updated daily. Spreadsheets, like Excel, or specialized platforms become very useful in this case. Once we have the resource flow under control, we can manage our expenses more securely.
4. Adjust your expenses
Once the main objective of the event has been established and the essential expenses identified, it is important to invest more resources in the most critical expenses and try to associate them with the most certain earnings, such as those coming from the number of registrations sold, for example. Subsequently, you can evaluate which expenses can be amortized or even removed completely.
5. Set aside an emergency fund
Having an emergency fund available is a fundamental aspect of the financial planning for a successful event, as we are constantly subject to factors outside our control that could cause unforeseen events and costly incidents.
Be cautious and set aside a sufficient amount of funds so that you have the ability to deal with unforeseen expenses.
These are our 5 tips for the financial planning of a successful event, but we suggest you seek more information on this topic to have an even more complete picture.
