How To Write Off Small Business Loan Interest

If you don’t know much about the numbers behind your business, you’re not alone. According to Wasp Barcode Technologies’ Small Business Report–Accounting, only 40% of small business owners surveyed said that they feel “extremely” or “very” knowledgeable about accounting. However, this lack of accounting knowledge could put you at a severe disadvantage.
Running a business without a proper accounting background feels like driving a car while blindfolded–you won’t know where you’re going. Accounting provides you with the answers to several key questions, including the following:
- Are we making a profit?
- Can we afford these expenses?
- If we need to move money around, how can we do that?
- How much is our business worth?
Therefore, whether you run a tech startup or a cannabis dispensary, for instance, you’re going to need an accountant.
