Infographic: Time to Tackle Your Small Business Debt

Roughly 50 percent of small businesses fail within the first five years, largely due to insufficient capital or overwhelming debt, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration. What’s more, nearly one-third of small business owners currently list “reducing debt” as their top priority and many face the challenge of their business capital becoming intermingled with personal finances. So, if your debt is burdening your company, you’re not alone—but it doesn’t have to be that way. If you’re uncomfortable with the levels of debt your business is carrying, start with these small steps to help yield big results.
