How much risk you and your company are willing and able to tolerate over time? Most people believe that early stage companies should take risks aggressively because there is less to lose and much more to gain with each risky bet or decision. Common thinking goes on to address large, public corporations by expressing that the relative tolerance to risk is decreased, in favor of protecting the brand or financial health of the enterprise.

Money in the bank is like oil in the car. Certainly, you have many ways you are pulled every day, both tactical and strategic. But when money is the issue, your time, energy and focus are drained from other important areas of your life or business. Running out of money is not always synonymous with going broke. Many great businesses in their growth periods find themselves stretched for cash.

If your business requires a cash injection, but you don’t want to risk falling into debt cycles from private loans , it might be time to consider business grants. By providing crucial funding for specific projects, and giving your business much-needed visibility, grants can be a great way to take your venture to the next level. It only takes a couple of minutes to apply to most opportunities too, allowing you to throw your hat in the ring without investing heaps of time and energy.

A punch in the gut Small companies most often scrape by with borrowed or invested funds, doing everything possible to grow and prosper with limited resources. So, it is like a punch in the gut when an employee makes a claim against the company for a perceived or actual violation of a law or regulation. Or when a former employee strikes out with a suit claiming discrimination for one of a thousand causes.

Use stock options and warrants to pay for service only rarely. Earlier, I stated that stock options are the currency of early-stage business. This truth is obvious when a start-up has no cash. So, we will assume a business is perhaps well beyond start-up and growing, but that cash is tight, used for growth and for working capital as earned. There are times when services of others are available for stock instead of – or in addition to cash.

Well, you may not be alone. Many executives and managers have made the mistake of using the financial and sales forecast to plan and execute hiring of new employees – so that they could be trained and up to speed when the demand arrives.

It sure is not intuitive. Here we must do a little math calculation together to make a point. Even if your business collects a full years revenue up front, you are still going to get hit with this. Heres the math and a wake-up call: Assume that your gross margin from sales is 50% for ease in calculation. Assume 30 days to collect receivables from completed work, and 30 days to complete the work.

Is it the law of most states? This is one that early-stage CEOs are almost universally unaware of. Most every state requires that any company with employees be covered by a policy of insurance against claims by workers for injury on the job, or worker compensation insurance. Many states have privately owned – but state-overseen -state insurance funds for this purpose, and of course a number of private companies offer such insurance alone or along with business package policies.

I expect that you have a story about how insurance saved you lots of money in your past. And of course, thats the purpose of paying for policies when you think youll never need them. So, here comes the fact: Business insurance is one of the more poorly managed mitigations of risk in small and many medium sized corporations, often because of failure to assign the responsibility to an individual or department, and sometimes just from the willingness to bet against the event and save cash.

Your valuable resources are often missed. Whether you find advisors from family, friends, faculty or fellow managers, great advisors can become an informal resource that rivals that of more formal resources, including board members. You will certainly know when youve found such a treasure, almost always through introduction by others and rarely because you have deliberately approached someone to fill a needed hole.
