As CEO of BWC Consulting, Bridget Chisholm shares important insights that small businesses need to know to gain more access to capital. First and foremost, Bridget says it’s necessary to have year-to-date and 3-years historical financial reports, including income statements and balance sheets, in order to reveal your business is cash flow positive. Secondly, it’s crucial to build relationships with your banker. She also encourages entrepreneurs to think holistically about assets on your company's balance sheet in order to make investors and lenders feel more secure. Finally, Bridget busts a myth about reporting losses for tax purposes. Always showing your profitability (even if it causes tax consequences) is key to accessing more capital for your business. These nuggets of wisdom for small business owners and Black entrepreneurs can not only prepare you for getting investments, but can also help shape your overall financial strategy for long-term success.
