Unexpected expenses hit hardest when owners don’t have a buffer. A simple tactic is maintaining a small weekly reserve transfer even during busy seasons. Treat it like a fixed operating cost: move a set amount every week into a reserve bucket. When something unexpected pops up, you’re prepared without disrupting payroll or important vendor payments. If you’re looking for a platform that makes this easier, Lili’s reserve buckets and automated transfers let business owners build savings in the background without relying on manual discipline.
