A calculator, a sources-and-uses sheet worked on an invented van repair, and the state and federal offices for registration, tax accounts and advising.
The payment calculator: amount, rate and months in, a monthly figure out
The business loan payment calculator takes the amount financed, the annual rate and the number of monthly payments, and returns the monthly payment, the total interest and the total repaid. It runs in the browser.
Typed in, an invented $16,480 at an annual rate of 11.8% over 42 months should return a payment of $480.87 a month. Interest worked from that rounded payment comes to $3,716.54 in this invented case (our arithmetic); the calculator works from the unrounded payment, so its interest figure may differ by a few cents. If the result looks far off, the months box is the first thing to check.
Sources and uses for an invented van repair: the sheet a short plan can start from
A plan for one funding request rarely needs many pages. Its core is a sources-and-uses sheet: what the money pays for on one side, where the money comes from on the other, and both sides equal to the cent.
An invented Tarboro, NC pest control service needs a replacement engine for its work van. The invented engine costs $6,315, the shop labor $1,385, and a rental van for the 8 working days the van is out $96 a day.
| Line | Uses (what the money pays for) | Sources (where it comes from) |
|---|---|---|
| Replacement engine | $6,315 | |
| Shop labor | $1,385 | |
| Rental van, 8 days at $96 | $768 | |
| Cash from the business account | $2,275 | |
| Funding request | $6,193 | |
| Total | $8,468 | $8,468 |
In this invented sheet the request is $6,193, not the full $8,468, because the business covers $2,275 itself. A repair of that size may fit a short working capital loan or a line of credit draw; the call sorts out which.
Registration, tax accounts and advising: four offices and what each one handles
These four offices hold or explain the records behind a North Carolina business. Each office's own pages carry its current forms and steps, so the table points to them rather than restating them.

| N.C. Department of Revenue, business registration | Registration for state tax accounts | ncdor.gov |

| North Carolina District Office of the U.S. Small Business Administration | The SBA district office for the state | sba.gov |
