Picture this:

You have a growing business, your customers are happy and you are happy providing services to them. The sales are increasing month after month and finally, all your hard work is starting to pay off. There is one problem. You are exhausted and hiring a new team member would be so helpful to take the strain off you and help to keep the momentum going in your business.

You decide to tap into loan solutions to help with cash flow. This isn’t a bad idea but is it a well-planned idea?

Many times as business owners we have to make decisions on the spot to keep progressing forward but using debt without planning for how you will pay it back can be a recipe for disaster. 

What are some key things to consider to successfully manage debt in your business?

• Create a budget plan for how you will pay the loan back.

• Make sure you are considering your business goals when taking out the loan.

• Don’t overleverage yourself and take on too much debt.

• Manage your working capital.

• Monitor your cash flow.

• Negotiate good terms that you are comfortable with.
  

  The financial challenges that entrepreneurs face when they are in a growth phase can be tough. The key to successfully managing debt is first understanding all the moving parts associated with servicing the debt and making a realistic plan to pay it off as soon as possible.
