• Financial challenges for small businesses
• Strategies for managing business debt
• Importance of creditworthiness and financing options
• Technological advancements in business operations

Key Takeaways:

• Small businesses often face financial challenges due to high-interest merchant cash advances, which can create a cycle of debt that requires careful management and negotiation with lenders to ensure sustainable repayment terms.
• Knowing your numbers is crucial; business owners must understand their profit margins and overall financial health to avoid selling more receivables than they can afford and to communicate effectively with creditors​​.
• Improving creditworthiness is essential for qualifying for traditional financing; this involves addressing underlying issues that prevent access to better financial products like business lines of credit or SBA loans​​.
• Leveraging technology and AI models can provide new opportunities for business growth and efficiency, helping businesses navigate the constantly evolving market landscape​.
