Break even
The sales level at which contribution margin exactly covers fixed costs.
Where it is explained in full
Break even and runway: two numbers every owner should be able to say aloud. How many sales before the business stops losing money, and how many months of cash are left if nothing changes. Both are simple. Both are routinely unknown.
Options from the beginning: calls, puts, and the Greeks in plain words. What a contract actually is, what the numbers on the screen mean, and why an option's value before expiration is not the same as its payoff at expiration.
A definition says what a thing is; it never says whether it fits you. The guides explain how it works and name the professional who confirms it for a particular person. The No Advice Disclosure.
Words beside it
- Revenue based financing
A loan repaid as a share of sales. Flexible and often expensive.
