On Demand
Until Jun 30

Facilitated by West Central SBDC

If you dream about taking a paid two-week vacation each year but your child care business hasn't quite gotten you there yet, you won't want to miss this on-demand series. Learn how to leverage cash flow as a financial planning tool, start making better business decisions, and begin planning your vacation while earning professional development hours in the PDIS system! 9-session, self-paced, webinar series with one-on-one support from SBDC consultants:

  1. Cash Flow: What, Why, and How
  2. Debunking Your Fears (income statements and balance sheets)
  3. Accounting Basics (direct v indirect, fixed v variable costs)
  4. Finding Where You Stand (budgeting, cash flow, Profit First, actuals)
  5. Building Your Plan
  6. Cash Flow as a Tool (how to pay yourself, how to increase cash flow, product/service lines)
  7. Entity Structure
  8. Moving Forward
  9. Why Businesses Fail and How Not to be One of Them (the money obstacle)

The 9-module course includes video instruction paired with downloadable templates/worksheets. Each individual module consists of a 2-12-minute instructional video paired with self-paced homework (30-90 minutes) designed to further understanding of cash flow in your business. Participants will be able to access the course for ten weeks. We encourage participants to work through the course worksheets and utilize our SBDC cash flow professionals for no-cost individual consulting and financial review.

This program is made possible by a grant from the Colorado Department of Human Services Office of Early Childhood.

Participants can earn professional development hours through the Professional Development Information System (PDIS) by completing all 9 modules and checking their understanding at a minimum of 2 consultation sessions. Participants who meet these requirements will receive a survey to capture their PDIS user information.
