The Benefits of CCLM!

The first five years of a new business is critical for the success and longevity of the business.  A large portion (over 50%) of new business fail primarily due to the following reasons listed. However, I also believe most small business fail because the owners/leaders do not have knowledgeable people coaching/supporting them to succeed.  

1. Exhausting cash flow or reserves. 
2. Inability to secure capital (revenue) to maintain business. 
3. Lack of financial management experience or support. 
4. Lack of market demand for goods sold.
