Payment Processing 101 – Understanding your Merchant Account
Every small business has a merchant account, a bank contract.
Learn what this really means and explore the payment industry players: card associations, acquirers/processors, issuing banks and the payment card industry security council. Delve into the payment processing cycle, transactions, rates, pricing models, etc. to insure that you really understand this important aspect of your business and that you are getting the best rates possible and not paying for services you are not using.
Presented by Anh Nguyen, Managing Director, Byte Payment.
Financial Statements and Recordkeeping
Learn the most important aspects of creating and keeping a budget. Discuss the various financial reports including the Balance Sheet, Income (profit and loss) Statement and Cash Flow Analysis.
Most importantly, learn to interpret these key indicators. Talk about how to conserve cash, why it’s so important and how to best use it. Determine which records are necessary to maintain and the reasons for them.
