The Mount Pleasant Library will also host a free seminar on “Cash Flow Management and 2018 Tax Law Changes for Small Businesses,” on Saturday, Nov. 3, from 9:30 a.m. to noon.
To those operating a business, Cash Flow Management is a process used to define the health of the organization. For any enterprise the use of these tools are essential. There are many case studies where profitable companies failed when their cash flow was mismanaged.
With a firm understanding of the process, owners can reassure stakeholders that their investments are safe; employees that they will be paid; and service/material suppliers that the funds are available for reimbursement.
Areas to be covered for cash flow management include: how to manage your cash flow, projecting cash flow needs, critical financial ratios, and 2018 tax changes effecting small businesses.
This free workshop is taught by experts from SCORE Westmoreland and is co-sponsored by the Mt. Pleasant Business District Authority. Please pre-register at 724-547-3850 or https://westmoreland.score.org.
