    This issue primarily is why i had to scale back my business. Did a lot of commercial work throughout the winter and spring and cash flow was so slow that having 6 guys on payroll depleted everything that ever came in…forced me to have to get 2 loans.

    100% agree! Reverse engineering is what l do, it starts with what l need as net income and average monthly business expenses. That is the bare minimum of what you need to make, plus income taxes.
