Uhlalutyo lwe-break-even sisixhobo sezemali esinceda inkampani ukuba inqume iphuzu apho ishishini, okanye inkonzo entsha okanye imveliso, iya kuba nenzuzo. Ngamanye amazwi, lubalo lwemali ukumisela inani leemveliso okanye iinkonzo ekufuneka inkampani izithengise okanye izinike ukuhlawula iindleko zayo (kubandakanywa neendleko ezimiselweyo).
Xa amanani enkampani eguquguquka okanye ehla, lixesha lokuba senze, akunjalo? Kungenjalo kuya kuba nzima ukuba ishishini lakho lizinze. Ngoko ke, akumangalisi ukuba umcebisi wezezimali uyimfuneko engazange ibonwe ngaphambili. Ukukhangela izisombululo kwiingxaki zezoqoqosho nezemali zeshishini lakho "kuya kusindisa ubomi bakho". Kuya kufuneka uyazi ukuba ingcebiso yezemali yeyona nto iphambili kwezinye iinkonzo ezinxulumene nemali, njengebhanki, i-inshurensi, ulawulo lokuthengisa, kunye noshishino ngokubanzi.
Abahlalutyi bezemali badlala indima ebalulekileyo kwimisebenzi yemihla ngemihla yombutho. Kwinqanaba eliphezulu, baphanda kwaye basebenzise idatha yezemali ukuqonda ishishini kunye nemarike ukuze babone indlela umbutho oqhuba ngayo. Ngokusekelwe kwiimeko zoqoqosho ngokubanzi kunye nedatha yangaphakathi, bacebisa izenzo zenkampani, ezifana nokuthengisa isitokhwe okanye ukwenza olunye utyalo-mali.
Injongo yohlalutyo lwemali yenkampani kukuphendula imibuzo ephathelele ekuthathweni kwezigqibo. Ukwahlula okufanayo kwenziwa phakathi kohlalutyo lwemali lwangaphakathi nangaphandle. Uhlalutyo lwangaphakathi lwenziwa ngumqeshwa wenkampani ngelixa uhlalutyo lwangaphandle lwenziwa ngabahlalutyi abazimeleyo. Nokuba iqhutywa ngaphakathi okanye ngumntu ozimeleyo, kufuneka ilandele amanyathelo amahlanu (05).
