We are pleased to have completed the first week of SEC Season-20, and now we enter into the second week with new questions and a few tips.

  
We come to the topic straight away and share a short description of what we expect from the participants. This week we are expecting specific answers from the users in business or willing to enter a business to stick to the point and avoid generic answers. Please keep your answers based on your own experiences or what you expect to do if you find yourself in a situation in question.

Now we know that you're in business or willing to start one soon and you are giving it your all to make it a success. However, a business is not just a source of income but you should have a plan for your financial planning to run it successfully.

Our topic of the week is "Capital Management."

As you know, the requirement of any business, whether your need of capital is short-term or long-term, depends upon your business plan.

Apart from this, you need running capital, also known as current assets. In your businesses, you have to adjust agents, taxation, registrations, patents, advertisements, etc. are also such expenses that you have to add to the cost of your product, so that is also a fixed expense that you have to take into account at the time of starting your business.

Please explain how you plan to arrange your initial investment.

You need funds according to your business, which includes research, advertisement, staff expenses, dispatch, etc.

As we understand, we have several experienced enraptures among Steemians, so this week the tips and questions will be a little more professional. You have to provide us with the reasons based on our questions in 200-250 words each.

It all depends on the size of your business and how you arrange your capital, so let's start with:

Q1. Please tell us about your initial investment value in terms of Steem as well as in US$, and how you manage it.

The initial investment is what a businessman/woman allocates at the time of starting their business. This amount is their contribution towards the business or project. This amount is needed to cover the cost of a shop, building, raw materials, finished goods or equipment, or whatever their business requires as initial inventory, including legal, licensing, commissions, etc.

Q2. A profit and loss statement is commonly known as a statement that shows details of your business's revenue and expenses over a period that we calculate on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. How do you determine whether your business made a profit or loss during a stipulated period?

We are interested to know:

A. Are you earning profit or incurring losses?
B. What are your plans to make your business a more successful one?
C. Are you reinvesting your profits or using them for your personal use?
D. What are your expenses for your staff and establishment, if any?

Q3. Loans and working capital

Did you take any loans or working capital for your business from any financial institute?

A. If you took any loan from any financial institute, how do you repay your loan? What is the interest rate?
B. How frequently do you pay the loan installment?
C. Have you ever faltered in repayment of an installment?
D. Working capital loan covers your business's short-term operational needs. A working capital loan is that you take from an individual or financial institute to run your business for the short term.
E. Most financial institutes provide a fixed amount that you can draw when you need it and return to your account. The interest is calculated for the period you use this amount on a daily basis. Do you have any such account or intend to have one?

Q4. Colleterial securities and your understanding

We know that all of us are not wealthy enough to start a business with our capital, so we have to arrange through different methods. Collateral security is one of the methods to obtain a loan for starting a business by most businessmen.

Collateral security is a guarantee by a business owner or a partner of the business to repay the loan. Most financial institutes provide business loans against collateral security at a fixed interest rate. In most cases, this is your home, your business, or your fixed assets. Did you take any collateral loans for your business or intend to do so? If not, why not?

A. Do you have any plans to seek a loan from a financial institute against your property?
B. If yes, what are the terms and conditions for such loans in your country?
C. Do you intend to seek a loan for establishing a business or do you need it as running capital?

Wonderful topic , hmm this is what we call challenge because it's really challenging. I will do my best let me go get prepared.

Hello dev's teaching team (@dove11, @aviral123), please I want to know if the students are to answer all the questions provided or are we to select some questions.

And about the number of words, will each question carry a minimum of 200-250 despite the attached questions to it like the a, b, c....

Thanks!

There are four basic questions which consist of sub-questions. So, you have to answer these four questions covering all sub-questions. 200-250x4 words are sufficient to cover all of these. I hope I have covered your query and there is no doubt left whatsoever.

Thank you, I understand better now

Considering you are getting rewards of around 300 STEEM/SP from this post, would it be appropriate to award rather more than 4 SP to the five selected posts 😉

Sure, I will make it 10 each. Thanks for the suggestion.

Edited 10x5=50

This is an insightful topic. Since I’m currently running two businesses, can I share my experience in the past tense?

For example, you asked:

Please tell us about your initial investment value in terms of Steem as well as in US$, and how you manage it.

This question feels hypothetical, as if asking how we would manage our initial investment. Would it be appropriate for me to answer by explaining how I actually managed mine?

Some of the subquestions, such as those related to loans, don’t apply to my situation. Do I still need to answer them?

I see this as a great opportunity to highlight my businesses and business skills. Should I focus on scenarios I didn’t encounter when starting my businesses?

Hopefully, I’ll be able to offer valuable insights into how challenging it is to not just start a business, but to sustain it. Starting is easy; the real test comes with maintaining it.

Thank you, @dove11, for raising such a thoughtful topic.

Your business is your baby so have full freedom to express your views in your own way. After all, you raised it as you felt best so why should I tell you what you did or intend to do with your business? Please go on, let us know how you did it, I am sure we are going to read something interesting coming from you.

Here we gooo 🤝
