Business Finance 101 Webinar
How many times have you sat in your banker’s office while she was discussing your company’s financial statements, smiling and nodding as she spoke, while you thought to yourself, “I don’t understand a single word she just said.” But you continue to smile and nod because you don’t want your banker to think you’re an idiot.
This webinar will teach you the components of financial statements, what they are, what they mean and how they work together. Financial statements aren’t just random numbers put down on paper; they’re a description of the financial health of your business!
What this webinar won’t do is teach you how to keep the books. You really need to hire someone who knows what they’re doing, and plenty of good accounting and bookkeeping classes available to help you if that’s what you really want to do.
The webinar presenter is Jill Edwards, Executive Director of the Ben Franklin Venture Investment Forum and a former bank commercial lender. She’ll explain in plain English what leverage ratios, sustainable growth calculations and a host of other financial terms mean, and will give you some tips on how to stay in the good graces of your bank.
