Generally, businesses use financing to meet operating expenses and facilitate expansion as well as to acquire, replace, or repair assets. For example, credit cards can help with small expenses, such as office supplies or travel, while equipment financing can facilitate the purchase of key assets, like company vehicles.

Borrowing is common among all businesses, big and small, especially from traditional financial institutions like banks. According to the Small Business Credit Survey, nearly three in four firms had outstanding debt in 2021. Moreover, 90% of firms entrusted either a small or large bank with their financial needs.
The ideal level of debt varies from company to company — one may need extensive inventory financing while another solely requires an active line of credit for occasional office expenses. The majority of small businesses tend to carry less than $100,000 in debt on their books, however, it’s not unreasonable for growing businesses to borrow $250,000 or even $1 million as they expand operations.
Employing a finance professional can help you navigate early operational challenges as well as keep records neat and tidy. That said, small businesses (or even startups with large scale ambitions) don't need to hire a CFO right away — a bookkeeper suffices for most initial financial responsibilities, like handling A/R and A/P. Consider hiring a bookkeeper, part-time or full-time, while you get your business off the ground and build a customer base.
