The Power of Capital

The Power of Capital workshop equips participants to manage cash flow strategically—avoiding “profitable-but-cash-poor” traps—by planning buffers, timing, and payables/receivables. It also demystifies borrowing by explaining when debt makes sense, how lenders assess repayment ability, what financial documents and metrics matter most, and how to choose among credit options like cards, lines, term loans, and other funding sources.
