WHAT DOES THE BOOK “WHAT THE FINANCE” OFFER?

Some of the common concerns raised by many entrepreneurs include:-

“How will I pay the next month’s salaries?”
“How can I get funding?”
“How are some entrepreneurs so successful in financial terms?”
“What are the meanings of the financial terms my investors keep referring to?”
“What is ‘financial management’ all about?”
“How can I grow my profits further?”
“How can I get to know what I need to do to manage my business’s finances?”

One of the major reasons many businesses fail is due to poor financial management. There may be many great business ideas, but if the finance of the business is not handled properly then, the business is headed for a fiasco.
