Start with these questions

This guide is for business owners preparing a conversation with their advisor. Work from dated source records and distinguish confirmed information from assumptions.

  1. 01

    Start from existing obligations and cash available after operating needs.

  2. 02

    Document the proposed use of funds and expected timing.

  3. 03

    Test a slower-revenue scenario and collection delays.

  4. 04

    Keep potential funding separate from formally sanctioned and disbursed amounts.
