Business expenses to describe
Business equipment
Identify the machine, tool or system the business needs to buy. Include delivery and setup so the request reflects the cost of putting it into use.

Operating expenses
List the bills that fall due before expected customer receipts. Define the period covered so the request has a clear purpose and end point.
