GROWTH PILLAR: Sales & RevenueWHO THIS IS FOR: SMB owners / Solopreneurs / New business owners / Leaders building systemsWHAT THEY'LL GAIN: Real financing strategies, the team of three every business needs, and the cash flow decisions that keep your doors open. Most new business owners don't run out of ideas. They run out of money — and they never saw it coming. Michael Yasny has spent decades helping new businesses, growing businesses, and businesses in financial trouble find financing they didn't know existed. In this Canada Growth Network session, he breaks down exactly what it takes to set up a business the right way — before you open the door. Michael covers the team of three every owner needs on day one: a corporate lawyer, a business accountant, and a business advisor. Not a coach. Not a general practitioner. The specific people who understand commercial documents, tax setup, and alternative financing. He explains why you should incorporate on day one — and the one question you ask your accountant to find out if they're worth keeping. He walks through how family financing works, what a real loan structure looks like when you pull equity from your home, and why asking for less money than you need is one of the most dangerous things a new owner can do. Michael also covers pricing strategy, what happens when you try to grow too fast into big-box retail, how to handle supplier disputes without burning relationships, and why paying your team more often costs you less. This is a practical, no-fluff session for anyone thinking about starting a business — or anyone who opened one and is wondering why the money keeps disappearing.
