3. Budgeting and Financial Management for Vendors

Being a self-employed vendor means managing income efficiently to ensure long-term financial security. Effective budgeting and financial planning can help vendors navigate variable income streams and maintain stability.

3.1 Creating a Vendor Budget

Vendors should follow a structured approach to managing income, expenses, and savings.

Step 1: Track Your Income

✔ Use the Service Club financial dashboard to monitor earnings.

Vendors should track both fixed and variable expenses:

🛠 Work-Related Costs – Tools, transportation, cleaning supplies, and uniforms.
📑 Platform Fees & Deductions – Service Club fees, penalties, or commissions.
🏠 Living Expenses – Rent, groceries, and utility bills.
💰 Taxes & Contributions – Income tax, VAT (if applicable), and retirement savings.

Step 3: Allocate Savings & Emergency Funds

Since vendor earnings can fluctuate, setting aside savings for unexpected expenses is crucial.

• Emergency Fund: Set aside at least 10-20% of earnings for unforeseen expenses.

• Tax Savings: Dedicate a portion of income for annual tax payments.

• Business Investments: Reinvest in better equipment or training to enhance service quality.

3.2 Managing Irregular Income

Service vendors often experience income variability, so financial planning is essential.

🔹 Live Below Your Peak Earnings – Avoid overspending during high-earning months.
🔹 Plan for Slow Periods – Save extra during busy months to cover slower times.
