Do I have Enough Money to Start a Business?
Here at the SBDC, we get asked this question a lot. There is no one answer.
But, one of the factors that really influences the success or failure of a new business, is how much cash it has in its checking account when it opens its doors.
To read the rest of this month's SBDC article, visit their website at: http://ugasbdcrome.wordpress.com/2013/06/26/pearce-do-i-have-enough-money-to-start-a-business/
The mission of the UGA SBDC is to enhance the economic well-being of Georgians by providing a wide range of educational services for small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. For more information, please visit www.romesbdc.org or call 706-622-2006.
