Facilitated by Capital Pathways at the Virginia SBDC Network
Getting your finances organized is the first step toward scaling your business or applying for funding. In this session, we’ll walk through simple, practical steps to help you structure your finances, build better habits, and prepare for next steps—whether that’s going after a loan or growing your operations.
You’ll learn:
How to separate personal and business finances
What basic bookkeeping looks like (even using a spreadsheet)
Simple systems to track income, expenses, and receipts
What reports like an income statement can show you
How to set goals and forecast your cash flow
This session is ideal for business owners who are ready to get structured before diving into accounting software.
This event is part of Capital Pathways, a no-cost program from the Virginia SBDC that helps small businesses get the funding they need to grow. The program is designed for very small (fewer than 10 employees), emerging, and growth-ready businesses that face challenges accessing traditional financing. It offers hands-on group learning, guided implementation, and extended one-on-one support focused on strengthening your finances, loan applications, and legal setup.
