Assume you own and operate a small business. You have just completed your forecasts and budgets for next year and realize you will need an infusion of $30,000 cash to get through the next year. You are reluctant to take on a partner because that would dilute your control over the business. Preliminary talks with several lenders suggest that you probably wont get a loan.

So give me at least five things you can do to come up with the $30,000 from taking a long hard look at your financial statements (especially which one?!!).
