Cutting Back on Debt
Role of Debt
- Debt is common; right amount helps cash flow and growth.
- Too much debt can strangle the business.
How Much Debt Is Too Much
- Decide using analysis of cash flow and industry.
- Higher industry volatility → less debt; lower volatility → more debt possible.
Lenders and Owner’s Role
- Banks check debt–equity, but willingness to lend is not proof of safe debt.
- Some lenders may rely more on collateral than earnings.
- Business owners must use financial analysis and statements to make sound borrowing decisions.
CBSE: Class 12
