Succeed With a Business Loan.


Yes, you can succeed in business with a business loan only if you consider these points important.
 
Loan purpose.
Remember it's a business loan, So make sure after acquiring this loan you fulfill the purpose.

Retain the business earnings.
If the business performs well and generates some profits retain them to expand your capital.

Monthly installments.
Pay monthly installments in time using part of business profits.

External financial support 
Sometimes the business may not do well as expected which means you must be having another reliable source of income that will help you make timely monthly payments to avoid disappointments.

Respect the business entity concept.
This concept emphasizes that a business and it's owner are two separate entities.

What does it mean.
Separate business expenses from personal expenses.

Here is a good example.
Use business profits to pay rent, electricity, water and other expenses that relate to business only. 

But you can as well support the business and pay business expenses using your own money.

Why?
Because the business is young, it has just started and the returns may not be good.

Even when the business has been in existence please support it most especially when sales are low and the business finds it hard to meet it's expenses and liabilities.

You should not use business profits to clear personal expenses unless you have paid yourself.

But remember the loan is not yet settled, it's still a loan business so you need to prioritize settling the loan first and you own the business officially then think of paying yourself.

It takes courage, patience, sacrifice and commitment to succeed in business with a loan.

If you meet these standards you are good to go and if you don't please, start with the little you can get.

How best would you advise an individual who's going for a business loan?

HOW MANY HOURS DO YOU WORK IN A WEEK

Longer Working Hours Recently a lot of debate has been going on about working 70 or 90 hours a week. Just like finance, work ethics cannot be same for everyone.  If you’re building a business, yes, you can and may want to work for such hours. When one works independently they have to put in the extra hours. Even weekends become work-days. Also, working for oneself has a different level of satisfaction. But eventually work hours should fall — efficiency should trump long hours. For someone in a job such long hours, in my opinion, are illogical. Who has the will or desire to work in this manner for someone else? Longer hours may reduce productivity. Unhappy employees can never be good for an employer. Also, if a person is working for someone else they need and deserve adequate family and social time.  I may be wrong but this is how I see the matter. If I link this to financial planning, the core motive of financial management is to reach a stage where one can cut working hours y...

SAVING AND CREATING ASSETS

Image
Why Savings and Creating Assets is Extremely Important. As Netflix became popular, Blockbuster Video business based on renting out home media was destroyed. The company that had over 84,000 employees in 2004 filed for bankruptcy in 2010. Small rental stores owned by ordinary American families began shutting down at incredible speed. Now think of it as if you were one of those families. In the early 2000s you would’ve felt comfortable with your life. Nothing could go wrong. I mean, everyone needed entertainment, so who would stop renting videotapes or DVDs or CDs? And then suddenly, in a matter of less than 5 years, your earnings shrink because people no more come to your store, they’re taking a Netflix subscription. Before you even have the time to understand what’s happening and act on it, you have to shut down the store. Income gone, expenses and debt still heavy.  We usually talk of how recessions take away jobs. But the magnitude to which technological changes put people out of...
