The success of your business depends on your having enough capital to purchase needed equipment, buy inventory, and pay overhead costs such as rents and salaries, plus additional working capital to enable you to take advantage of opportunities or survive temporary setbacks. Your financial requirements will generally fall into two main categories:
- Initial costs: land, building, fixtures, equipment, supplies, vehicles, pre-opening expenses and opening inventory
- Daily operating costs: rising inventories, payroll, rents, taxes, advertising, accounts receivable, etc.
Financing your business will come from a variety of sources.
