Don't Adjust My EBITDA
In my first business, we didn’t have a line for EBITDA on our financial statement. We went straight to Net Income. We knew our cash flow from our statement of cash flows (and our bank account which we checked regularly since we were self funded.) We never talked about EBITDA, nor did we ever feel the need to come up with things like “Adjusted EBITDA.”

How to Spend It: Making the Most of Aid
Africa can absorb and manage increased aid flows. That was the consensus expressed at the plenary session. In his introductory remarks, Graham Mackay, Chief Executive, SABMiller, United Kingdom; Co Chair of the Africa Economic Summit 2005, made clear his view that there is no realistic alternative to continuing aid, with a doubling of flows needed over the next three to five years. This, though, he warned, runs against the present current of declining flows.

Three Sure Signs That Your Business Will Run Out of Cash – And What To Do About It
You can have a profitable business and still fail. In fact, the number one reason for business failure is under-capitalization – running out of cash. As most business owners know, profits do not equal cash flow. It takes cash to invest in infrastructure, lay the foundation for future growth, and build capacity. Much of these cash requirements show up on the cash flow statement and balance sheet, but not on the income statement. This article reveals three sure signs that your business may be heading for a cash crisis, and offers four ways to manage cash flow properly.
When is the right time to expand?
When is the right time to expandis a question that many small business owners have. There are many issues that need to be addressed to find the answer but one of the big ones is how much will the expansion cost (the initial outlay) and how much cash (operating cash flows) will be generated. A tool to help evaluate whether the operating cash flows generate a return to justify the initial outlay is called Net Present Value (NPV).
Where Did All My Cash Go?
We hear this all the time from small business owners. They look at their Profit & Loss statement (a.k.a. Income Statement) which shows all this activity in their business, and yet their Balance Sheet (and checkbook) show little to no cash! So where did it all go? A big challenge for a lot of business owners is understanding the difference between profit and cash flow. While the P&L may be showing growing sales and profit, the owner may notice that their cash balance is shrinking or that they are struggling to meet payroll.
IF YOU CONTROL IT WELL, IT FLOWS WELL!
When a process flows well you typically get great results! You can think of all the analogies to this statement but seldom can think of one that disputes it, can you?
Do We Really Need a Mission Statement?
Many organizations confuse the concept of a vision statement with a mission statement. They might say, "Our mission is to become the world leader in windows." Well, that is reallly a vision statement, not a mission statement. A vision statement is always about the future, while a mission statement is all about what we are trying to do today. It is very important to know that. This article will clarify a process to obtain a good mission statement.

Times are tough with the credit crunch!
As times are tough both for householders and businesses alike this is when it is important to make sure your business is operating to the optimum. Also, you may be having cash flow difficulties and be looking to raise some cash from the bank. Now, I thought that it would be difficult to get a loan, however, I recently saw my bank manager (who is from Barclays as it happens) for one of my businesses and he said that they are encouraging lending to businesses. His comment was that Barclays had been a bit tight with their lending over recent years so they are looking to expand their lending book. So if you are doing some cash flows and things are not looking so good and you have been listening to the news out there - things might not be as bad as they seem on the face of it.
