Small Business Finance was designed with the start-up business owner/manager in mind and provides a detailed overview of the organization and operation of a business from a financial perspective. Developed as a combination textbook and workbook, it takes the reader step-by-step through each element of a company's finances from pre-startup costs all the way to record keeping and financial monitoring for an established business. Along the way, readers will be introduced to a variety of useful operating tools such as start-up checklists, supplier evaluation forms, cost and revenue forecasting methods, cash flow analysis tools, ratio analysis, accounting tools and various financial journals.Written in plain language and using straightforward mathematical illustrations, the book takes the intimidation out of small business finance.
