For instance.
It depends on your BRAINS not your economic knowledge.
I can take pine lumber, a band-saw, some nails and router and make a killing also.
These things I have done. And turned INCREDIBLE profit. So much so that I don't need credit.
I stay afloat without it. And I do fine.
That's not a viable business. That's making a few bucks on the side.
Do you pay taxes?
Do you do your own accounting or do you hire an accountant?
Do you have a corporation? S, C, LLC ? etc..
An EIN # ?
How do you figure your wages so you can write a paycheck?
How do you get the money into your corporate account?
I could go on for pages if you like

Please don't. You seem to think understanding basic corporate configurations and the size of your paycheck equates to "getting it."
The simple fact that you seem to think if you are profitable you need to have credit to expand means you don't even understand basic mathematics and accounting.

And all these profitable businesses that use credit are doing it wrong....WOW ! you should contact them and let them know how much smarter you are then all those accountants and professional business men and women that have decades of experience. Tell me, how long have you been in business and how many corporations have you straightened out and taught them to fly right?

Ah, tsk tsk...
Good luck not paying your credit card bills.
I don't have any.
I do alright.
Call it a business or simply making a buck. I don't care.
I do alright.
Sure, i don't have as much as I would like.
For instance i wish I could have went hiking and campling this weekend, but it didn't work out.
It's alright, I still have everything I need plus some.
Sure I have to scrimp from time to time. But at least I don't pass the short periods by charging crap...
I don't have anything NOT to pay.

I have worked for myself for many years.
Depending on the nature of my business I either needed credit or I was able to cover all my overhead with my income.
It's almost like you just read the chase bank brochure on how to start a small business account and you are now an expert at accounting?
Seriously you don't need more than a basic understanding of math to understand some of these very simple concepts.

And as I said, I won't get into any of that.
I already have my face out here in these forums well enough.
With a little bit of dilligent investigation you can find out much about me here on these very forums.
I do NOT wish to divulge my accounting means.
Sorry.
