In today’s fast-paced business world, financial literacy isn’t just an added advantage—it’s the foundation of success. A recent study, Financial Literacy of Entrepreneurs and Companies’ Performance sheds light on how entrepreneurs’ financial behaviors drive their companies’ performance. Let’s explore the key findings and how Jazoodle can help you overcome common barriers to financial success.

Benefits of financial literacy

Here are the key findings from this study

  1. Financial Behavior is Critical

    Entrepreneurs who actively engage in financial practices like budgeting, cash flow management, and financial statement preparation are more likely to see their businesses thrive.

  2. Knowledge and Attitude Play Supporting Roles
    While financial knowledge and attitudes towards money are important, practical behaviors have the greatest impact on performance.
  3. Barriers to Financial Forecasting
    Many entrepreneurs struggle with:
    • Lack of time
    • Inadequate tools
    • Limited understanding of financial concepts
    • Market uncertainty

Younger Entrepreneurs and Service Sectors Excel
Younger business owners and those in the service sector tend to perform better, likely due to innovation and adaptability.
