The Financially Savvy Entrepreneur

Book excerpt: 80 percent of small businesses do not receive outside funding; they bootstrap (and beg and borrow) to make their business dreams a reality. As these businesses grow, the hasty financial decisions and systems put in place during their infancy inevitably crumble. Banishing CPA-speak, The Financially Savvy Entrepreneur offers time-strapped entrepreneurs—indeed, all business owners—simple and innovative tools to maintain business and personal financial health. Here’s an understandable, step-by-step plan that will help you: Understand how an entrepreneur’s financial considerations differ from their traditionally employed counterparts. Appreciate the danger of failing to revisit start-up decisions and give you a roadmap to ease financial entanglements. Establish a business that can stand on its own financially.
