Learn how to keep score of the health of your small business. The numbers on your financial statement identify strengths and weaknesses that affect your ability to serve customers and make a good living.
We will focus on the Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Statement while introducing the Statement of Cash Flow. Trends, rations, margins, and comparing them over different years can shed light on the path your business is taking. Well organized financials add value to a business and help lenders say yes when an entrepreneur needs to borrow money. They are critically important when trying to sell a business as well.
