the relevance of financial management to business growth in Nigeria. Financial
management is relevant to business growth for a well balanced operation, as
business in Nigeria are made up of small, medium and large scale enterprises
need financial management to operate well. The ultimate aim of financial
management is to plan and forecast the profit making and sourcing of funds for
business growth. Money is needed in financial management and used in making
plan work. It serves as a measuring device that can be used in measuring the
plan in terms of naira, and outsiders such as bankers and other lenders, will
do the same. In starting new business or expansion, loan is required. The burden
of proof in borrowing money is upon the borrower. You have to show the banker
or other lenders how the money borrowed will be used and more important how and
when you will repay back the loan. The extended essay also look at budgeting,
as organization, whether economic, social or political makes plan for an
organization. Without plan there is no longer an organization but an
uncoordinated assortment of individuals. Some business owners/managers carry
plans in their head, some make rough estimates on their business others express
their plans in orderly and systematic manner.
