- How much do I need to start my business?
Use this calculator to help you determine your small business start-up expenses and your ongoing monthly expenses. This calculator calculates how much money you should budget and have available to start your business. - Should I buy or lease equipment?
This calculator compares a term loan and lease to obtain business equipment. To compare the value of payments over time for the lease-or-loan option, the calculator shows payments in present value. - How long will it take to repay my loan?
This calculator calculates the repayment period based on the values you enter. If you make additional principal payments, you shorten the repayment period. You also reduce interest expense. - What term of loan should I choose?

This analyzer helps you to evaluate the better source of financing: an amortizing loan or line of credit. - Should I take advantage of trade discounts?
