The success of every business depends on exceptional skills, and one of such is financial literacy.
What is financial literacy? Financial literacy means having the knowledge and confidence to manage, save and invest money properly for yourself and your business. A financially literate person will know how to keep their business books up-to-date, make a financial plan for their business loans, and know when to make a financial decision.
Here are five ways to help you improve your financial literacy as a POS business owner.
Read books on financial literacy.
If you are trying to improve your financial literacy skills, a great place to start is a good book. The advantage of reading a book is that you go at your pace and can find your area of interest as you progress. You can check out any library or bookshop for financial literacy books to help you get started.
Attend financial education workshops and events.
Workshops and events are another opportunity to improve financial literacy skills and make proper business money decisions. PayCentre Webinars, for example, sometimes host sessions that help POS business owners improve various skills, and being in attendance can set you on the right path.
Follow financial experts on social media.
Use any social media channels to follow financial experts on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn, or maybe join a personal finance Facebook group or a conversation on Twitter spaces.
Start keeping your book records up-to-date.
Financial guidance from experts will not mean much if you don’t know where your income and expenses are going every month. Start keeping your books up-to-date. Want to learn more about bookkeeping and transaction reconciliation for POS Agents? Watch our most recent webinar here.
Talk to people who are experts in financial literacy.
Improving your financial literacy means finding answers to your money matters. An expert can help you whether about basic day-to-day money situations or making a financial plan. They can also study your current situation, advise and help you stay on track.
In conclusion, improving your financial literacy is a continuous process, and it’s necessary to keep your knowledge base growing. The key is just to get started. When you do, any step you take toward getting a better financial situation is a step in the right direction. Once you have the knowledge and put it to use, you can make more wise and more confident financial decisions.

Thanks for this info,
but it would be nice if you can do this for your agent as some others are encouraging their agent by havig a business app where their agent can use.
The ZERO MAINTENANCE FEE is a bad idea as others are not collecting it from their agent, it would be nice if paycenter cancel this as well to stop placing us on doing 45 transaction beforen we can qualify for zero fee maintenance.
