"Can the business afford it?"
You have $40,000 in the bank.
Can you afford a $10,000 investment in the business?
You don't know yet.
What's already committed?
What's coming in?
What's going out?
How much cash does the business need to operate?
Will the $10,000 expense produce a return โ or just reduce cash?
A bank balance tells you what you have. It doesn't tell you what you can afford
