As many communities have programs aimed at encouraging the growth of local small businesses, economic developers often need to learn how to assess the viability of these businesses. In this course, participants will learn how to work with business owners to assess a small business’s financial strengths and weaknesses. Economic developers and public officials can then make informed decisions about providing public financing to small business development.
In the course, participants are given an overview of business financing needs and available private financing options, as well as how the public sector can complement bank financing. This course is very hands-on, with participants learning how to read important financial reports, including financial statements, balance sheets and the profit and loss statement. Using this information, participants will be able to perform a credit analysis by determining how well a company buys and sells to make a profit. Participants will also learn how to determine if the company pays it suppliers on time, collects its receivables, and controls costs to make a profit. Most importantly, participants will learn the basics of structuring deals for small businesses that often combine public and private sector financing programs.
