Debt Financing
Business owners frequently worry that banks might leave them behind during tough times, or are only going to support the business when things are going well. Alerting a bank when performance is poor can be a hard topic to navigate, especially when you need to renegotiate terms. At the same time, banks are unhappy when a client surprises them by violating a requirement of their agreement.
