Smart capital allocation for small business means giving each rupee a job in a deliberate order. Firms that “invest in growth” while GST sits unpaid are not allocating. They are hoping. Use the same order as how much to reinvest, and make it visible on one page.
An order that rarely embarrasses you
- Statutory dues and salaries.
- A cash buffer.
- Maintenance that prevents breakdowns. Quality work is in improving quality without a big cost jump.
- High-interest debt.
- The single growth bet that has evidence.
Review quarterly
If growth projects are crowded, kill the weakest. Principles live in business investment principles. The discipline of leaving some profit unspent is in reinvestment rules.
