Most business owners don’t realize their debt is a problem—until it’s too late. Debt creeps in slowly, until your business is working just to stay afloat.
Here are 5 red flags that your business might be heading toward a financial crisis.
Sign 1: You’re Only Making Interest Payments
If you’re constantly paying interest but the principal never goes down, you’re stuck in a debt loop. Over time, this drains your profit and makes your business less sustainable.
Sign 2: You’re Robbing One Account to Pay Another
Are you using one credit card to pay another? Borrowing from vendor credit to cover your loan? This is a dangerous cycle and a major warning sign.
Sign 3: You’re Avoiding Your Books
If you’re not checking your financials because you’re scared of what you’ll see—that’s a problem. Avoiding your numbers doesn’t stop the damage.
Sign 4: Vendors Are Losing Confidence
When vendors start requesting prepayment or stop extending credit, it means they’re nervous about your ability to pay. That’s a sign your business reputation is at risk.
Sign 5: You’re Falling Behind on Payroll or Rent
Missing payments to employees or landlords isn’t just risky—it’s often the final tipping point.
