Financing Your Business:
When and How to Use Debt and Equity
Presented by: Frank Coker, CMC, MBA
CompTIA Faculty
CEO, CoreConnex, Inc.
Why does it matter?
• Debt and equity management are essential to
growing a business
• It is too late to get cash when you’re desperate
• It’s far less expensive to do it right (plan ahead)
Why does it matter?
Your money + their money = lift-off
(Then you can play with the big boys)
Agenda: Financing your Business
• Why does it matter?
• Flavors of debt and equity
• Ratios that matter
• Relationships that matter

What Does the Banker Want?
• Profitable and thriving customers
• Long-term relationship
• Minimum risk – high certainty
• Mutual trust – up-front honesty
• Visibility
• Opportunity to help solve problems early
• Current (not dated) information
• Success stories; referrals
The Biggest Problems
• Surprises – with no opportunity for a fix
• Shut down on communications
• Personal banker looses borrower to the “troubled
assets” department when surprises occur
(no fun for anyone)
• Customer borrows money for the wrong purpose
(e.g. LOC increase for a capital investment)
Special Cases
Solutions:
•Personal guarantee from
owner
•Personal assets as collateral
•Higher cost loans
•“Alternative Lending” sources
•Third party investor (provides
investment and guarantee on
loans)
High-risk Situations
•Service Company – no long-
term assets
•Extreme peaks and valleys
•Revenues on down trend
•Industry that is struggling
•Company with history of
losses
•Company that is highly reliant
on a single expert
Key Concepts
• A company with no debt has no leverage
• A company with no debt works harder to keep up
with competitors that have appropriate debt levels
• A company with excessive debt often cannot grow
fast enough to solve the problem; austerity is often
the only way out
• Too much debt will crush a company
OPM - Other People’s Money
(pronounced “opium”)
can be addictive
Ratios that Matter
•
Financial Strength Metrics
Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities
Target Rate = 1.5 [average across industries, some industries different]
Target Minimum = (1.5 x Current Liabilities) – Current Liabilities
Example:
Current Assets = 100
Current Liabilities = 60
Working Capital = 40
Target Minimum = 30
Healthy Scenarios
• Goal is to get above Target Minimum
• Understanding “health” means tracking trends
Unhealthy Scenarios
• Falling below or being below Target Minimum
is fundamentally unhealthy
• Understanding “health” requires trend lines
Relationships that Matter
•
Strategies and Timing
When should you
repair your roof?
When is the repair
most urgent?
Thinking Ahead
Planned
•Normal fluctuations
•Expansion
•Investment
•Acquisition
•Merger
Unplanned
•Economic downturn
•Competition
•Technology shift
•Opportunity
•Disaster
•Health surprise
It takes time to get ready;
All scenarios benefit from a strong financial position

  • 10. The Biggest Problems • Surprises – with no opportunity for a fix • Shut down on communications • Personal banker looses borrower to the “troubled assets” department when surprises occur (no fun for anyone) • Customer borrows money for the wrong purpose (e.g. LOC increase for a capital investment)
  • 11. Special Cases Solutions: •Personal guarantee from owner •Personal assets as collateral •Higher cost loans •“Alternative Lending” sources •Third party investor (provides investment and guarantee on loans) High-risk Situations •Service Company – no long- term assets •Extreme peaks and valleys •Revenues on down trend •Industry that is struggling •Company with history of losses •Company that is highly reliant on a single expert
  • 12. Key Concepts • A company with no debt has no leverage • A company with no debt works harder to keep up with competitors that have appropriate debt levels • A company with excessive debt often cannot grow fast enough to solve the problem; austerity is often the only way out • Too much debt will crush a company OPM - Other People’s Money (pronounced “opium”) can be addictive

  • 16. Unhealthy Scenarios • Falling below or being below Target Minimum is fundamentally unhealthy • Understanding “health” requires trend lines
