Applying for a business loan can feel like a catch-22. On one side of the desk is the risk-averse lender, who’s willing to loan money only to successful business owners. On the other side is the business owner, who needs the funds to grow and be successful! To avoid this paradox, approach a loan as a partnership rather than a provider-customer interaction. After all, if you were going into business with someone, you’d want to clearly understand their vision for the venture. Contact us at (770) 298-5684 for help effectively presenting your business plan and financials to prospective lenders.

Mergers and acquisitions provide growth opportunities. But they also introduce accounting challenges after the deal closes. Under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the buyer must determine the cash-equivalent purchase price and then allocate it to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair values. The process is more complicated when a deal includes noncash terms (such as earnouts) and intangible assets that aren’t reported on the seller’s balance sheet (such as goodwill). Call us at (770) 298-5684 for help navigating the accounting rules for business combinations and other post-deal reporting requirements.

If you have unfiled tax returns, getting back on track may be easier than you think. But the longer you wait, the more costly it becomes. The IRS charges a failure-to-file penalty of 5% per month (up to 25%) of the unpaid tax. There’s also a separate failure-to-pay penalty of 0.5% per month (up to 25%) of the unpaid tax. If both apply in the same month, the combined penalty is generally 5% per month. Returns over 60 days late are subject to a minimum penalty. Filing, even if you can’t pay in full, can reduce penalties and open the door to payment plans or other relief options. Call us at (770) 298-5684 for help.

For many businesses, inventory is one of the largest and most expensive assets to maintain. Carrying too much can create problems. Stocking too little can create different ones. Two supply chain approaches can help you strike the right balance. Just-in-time management reduces costs by minimizing inventory on hand and improving operational flexibility. Conversely, the accurate response approach uses forecasting to align inventory with customer demand. What’s the right approach for your business? Call us at (770) 298-5684 for help assessing your current inventory management processes and identifying opportunities to improve cash flow and operational efficiency.
