Free advising: the small business development center
Small Business Development Centers offer one-on-one advising to owners and people starting a business, as part of a national network funded in part by the SBA. Idaho's network has an office serving the Magic Valley; owners searching for a small business development center in Twin Falls, ID are looking for it.
Advisers can help with a business plan, cash-flow projections, pricing and preparing to apply for funding. For many owners, that conversation is the right first step, before any lender or broker.
Getting more from an advising session
Bring numbers, even rough ones:
- business bank statements for the last several months;
- last year's business tax return or a simple profit and loss statement;
- a list of debts with balances and payments;
- what the money would pay for and what it would cost;
- your own count of how many days cash is tied up in stock and receivables, from the cash conversion cycle worksheet.
Ask the adviser two questions directly: can the business carry a new payment in its slowest month, and is this a funding problem or a pricing or cost problem? Both answers shape every conversation that follows.
