Business is only ever a failure if you've learned nothing.
It is not uncommon for a business to fall into financial difficulty. If yours has, just know that you aren’t the first and you won’t be the last.

Most of the mega companies of the world have huge amounts of debt on their balance sheet. However, there is a line between debts that are manageable and debts that can put the business at serious risk.

You may not be prepared for the impact it has on the day to day running of your business, but you should always know the financial impact on the business and the impact on you personally, as well as how to correctly manage it.
