One of the hardest banking concepts that I have ever had to deal with was explaining why banks require personal guarantees &' especially from a well managed, profitable business.

Banks look for three sources of repayment when underwriting loans. They have found over time that three sources of repayment usually mean that they do not lose as much should a borrower walk away from a loan.

People talk about metrics, indicators, scorecards and other. Do you know how to measure your business? Do you know what is good indicator and what is bad?
