Business Spending Categories (BSC) are the various financial categories or ‘buckets’ of money that businesses use to allocate their resources. BSCs help businesses track how much they’re spending on different activities and make sure they are making wise investments in order to maximize profits. By breaking down business expenditures into specific areas like labor, materials, marketing, or research and development, companies gain valuable insights into where their cash is going — allowing them to recoup investments more quickly, adjust their spending habits when needed, and make informed decisions about future investments.
