Small business bankers are interested in all of those, but chief among the questions is those gross receipts or sales, and what you have left over after expenses (net income). Do you know your numbers? Here are a few minutes to getting to the answer of “yes.”

    So why all the talk about mail and a course on paperwork? Because I've had more clients than a few, PAY me to help them with it, before we can even get to the money conversation. It's also derailed many a financial plan with missed FINAL NOTICES, bank overdrafts, late and delinquent fees.
