Myth: A net profit indicates my business is doing well.

Fact:  Some businesses with a net profit can not pay their loans or obligations.  Some businesses with net losses do well and can pay their obligations.  Cash flow is more important than net profit/loss.  Multiman Consulting can help you track your cash flow.

Myth: My business is doing all right.  Why change anything?

Fact:  Your business may be meeting your basic cash needs, but is it as efficient and effective as it can be?  You improve what you track.  Average is not good enough. You became a business owner to succeed.  Multiman can focus on your businesses strengths and weaknesses, and made you more profitable. 

Myth: I don’t have the time, knowledge or money.

Fact:  You don’t have to be an expert in every area.  You can hire expertise.  For legal matters you hire an attorney.  Why not hire an MBA to help you with managing your business?  Multiman Consulting can develop a Management Information System (MIS) to help you track your business in several areas.  In fact, most MIS more than pay for themselves.  Work with Multiman Consulting to develop a MIS to improve your profitability and reduce costs.

Myth: I can look at my checking account to know how my business is doing.

Fact: Unpaid accounts receivable and payables do not show up in your checking account.  Accounts payable left unpaid can affect your relationship with suppliers.  Unpaid receivables will affect your cash flow negatively.  There is more than one account to monitor.

Myth: I was declined for a loan, my banker doesn’t like me.

Fact: Banks do not make loans based on friendships or personalities.  The lending decision is based on 5 C’s of credit, Character, Capacity, Capital, Collateral, and Conditions.  There must have been some weaknesses in on or more areas for them to decline the loan.  They are lending out other peoples' money, they are going to be cautious when making that decision.  If you would to know how and where to get financed Multiman Consulting can help.  With former business loan officers on staff, we can analyze your financing needs and if its bankable develop a loan proposal to take to banks.  If its unbankable, we will tell you your other options.  Lenders are required to accept all applications even if they know they will  decline them.
