Manage Cash Flow and Loans for Small Businesses
This course helps household businesses, market sellers and micro-shop owners take control of their cash flow and borrow wisely, so they never fall into a debt trap. Across 12 short lessons anchored to 10 classic finance books — Never Run Out of Cash by Philip Campbell, Profit First by Mike Michalowicz, Simple Numbers Straight Talk Big Profits by Greg Crabtree, Financial Intelligence for Entrepreneurs by Karen Berman and Joe Knight, The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel, Cashflow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki, Accounting Made Simple by Mike Piper, The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason, Your Money or Your Life by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez, and Small Time Operator by Bernard Kamoroff — you will learn why cash differs from profit, build a simple cash flow sheet, forecast money in and out, separate funds, manage receivables and payables, decide when to borrow, compare funding sources, avoid debt traps and loan sharks, prepare a credible loan file, use AI to track and alert your cash, plan a reserve fund, and finish a personalized cash flow dashboard. AI watches the numbers and warns you early, but you keep the discipline and make every final decision — the judgment AI cannot replace. Built on VietRica's three mission pillars — people at the center, mastering AI, and no one left behind — the course is free, in plain language, with local Vietnamese examples so no small owner is left behind. Note: for legal and loan specifics, consult a financial professional.
