Will the Small Business Package (SBP)  really add more money to my bottom line? Another Success Story

The client came to us to solve a bookkeeping problem. They had been denied a loan essential to landing the new $200,000 client. Because the company was growing steadily for the last few years, they decided to transfer the bookkeeping and payroll to an in-house employee. She had been with them since the start of their business and had a good understanding of the day-to-day operations. It was a promotion with additional money for the employee; and it freed up the owners to focus on other business goals. It looked like a win/win for everyone.

Before long, bookkeeping was up to date with all the transactions being entered; and with the owner’s free time, they were able to focus on growing their client base. Their hard work paid off. They landed a new contract worth over $200,000 in revenue. In order to service the new client, they needed a bank loan to hire new staff and purchase additional equipment. As expected, the bank asked for current financial statements.

Before long the bank called them with the news. They had been denied.

Imagine the business owners shock. They thought that everything looked good and that the loan would be a piece of cake. When inquiring about the denial of their loan, the bank informed them that while most of their financials looked good the amount of equity in their business was very low by industry comparison.

The business owners were certain that the amount of equity in their business was higher than what the financial statements portrayed. The owners turned to the professional team at the Small Business Package. It turned out that the employee responsible for keeping the financial records had little background in bookkeeping and business financial analysis. A number of transactions were not categorized correctly and the effect was that the businesses equity was not shown correctly on their financial statements. Within a few days, the bookkeeping problem was resolved.

The SBP team explained everything to the bank. The loan was secured and the new client was signed.
