This session will teach you how to assess your numbers to determine if your business will survive. We will cover:

  • Costs of operation
  • What each sale earns after costs
  • How many sales it takes to break even
  • Building a straightforward monthly cash flow projection
  • Setting justifiable prices

We'll work through the numbers of real businesses together before you begin thinking about your own. No accounting experience required — bring a calculator or your phone.

The program includes a short networking component, providing participants with an opportunity to connect with other entrepreneurs.

Presented by Ryan Knight, TPL's 2026 Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) at Toronto Reference Library.
