Understanding the business of retailing must begin with a good understanding of basic financial terminology. 

In this three-part series – Part 1, A–C, this Part 2, C–M, Part 3, N–W – we’re covering the basic terms of retail financial management.  Mastering these should make you more comfortable in discussions with bankers.  You'll be speaking "conversational banker-ese!"


The Retail Owners Institute® has been empowering owners since 1999 to "Turn on their financial headlights!"
Our tools and resources are trusted by thousands of independent owners to help grow financially stronger and resilient businesses.
