The million dollar question
26-Nov-12 06:11
I have absolutely no business experiance at all, in fact I have very little experiance of being in debt, with that in mind I'm hoping someone can answer this question, when a small business finds itself a million dollars in debt why is it not just completely wiped out ? how does it manage to carry on at all ?

negotiations...1st with lenders and vendors 2nd seeking investors... when the housing bubble burst i went to our vendors and asked for 1)extended terms and 2)more competitive pricing based on our history of payment and loyalty.... then i made the hard choice of laying off long time loyal employees and sought out 3 investors who were actually clients of ours durring the housing boom ... then i went to our lenders and proved we were a solvent company and had adjusted to the economic hand dealt us... it was hard but we survived and it is painfully slow in returning we have managed to buy out the investors percentages and once again we stand on our own....

First define "debt". A business can be in "debt" (owe a million) but the is still covered with backings.
Most often businesses put up assets for financial backing. Also second mortgages on personal homes.
