The Profitable Business Series
Break Even or Break Down
The Business Owner's Guide to Knowing Exactly What It Takes to Make Money
What the Book Is About
Most Business Owners Don't Know Their Real Numbers. This Book Changes That.
You can be busy, growing, and still broke. You can have a full schedule, a team of people, and a revenue number that sounds impressive and still wonder why the bank account never reflects it. That is not a hustle problem. It is a clarity problem.
Break Even or Break Down is built around one core idea: every business owner needs to know three specific numbers. Not revenue. Not profit. Three break-even numbers that tell you exactly what it costs to cover operations, what it costs to service your debt, and what it takes to produce the profit ownership actually requires.
Cole Corrigan developed this framework over seven years of direct work with more than 750 business owners across 20+ industries. This book is that framework written in plain language, without jargon, for owners who are done guessing.
The Core Framework
The Three Break-Even Numbers
Most financial advice tells you to track revenue and watch expenses. That is not enough. These three numbers tell you what your business actually needs to produce.
Operational Break-Even
What the company must sell to cover its normal operating costs.
Debt-Service Break-Even
What the company must sell to cover operations plus its debt-service obligations.
Profit-Target Break-Even
What the company must sell to cover operations, debt service, and the profit ownership requires.
