Not Financial Advice

Effective July 27, 2026

Everything on this site, including the calculators, is for general education. It’s not financial, legal, tax, or lending advice for your specific situation. Talk to a banker, accountant, or advisor before making a financing decision.

What the calculators are — and aren’t

The DSCR, loan payment, and cash conversion cycle calculators on this site compute the same formulas a lender uses, so you can see a real number for your own situation. They are estimates to help you think it through. They are not an underwriting decision, a pre-qualification, or a guarantee of any outcome from any lender.

Every business is different

The book and this site describe how financing generally works. Your own numbers, industry, credit history, and lender relationship will change what actually happens when you apply. Nothing here accounts for your specific tax situation, legal structure, or contractual obligations.

What we recommend

Before you make a financing decision, talk to a banker, accountant, or advisor who can look at your actual numbers and your specific situation — not a general guide.
