Cash flow is the lifeblood of every business, and mismanaging it is one of the fastest ways founders lose control of their runway. In this episode of DissedMedia: A Startup Story, we sit down with Kunal Bhasin, CEO of 1West, to break down how smart founders approach small business financing options, non-dilutive funding, and cash flow management without giving up equity.

Kunal shares real-world insights on SBA loan requirements, SBA loans vs bank loans, working capital loans, and why many founders end up trapped by expensive alternative business lenders when they wait too long to plan. We also explore business lines of credit, equipment financing, and how to fund a small business without investors while protecting long-term value.

If you are a founder, operator, or small business owner looking to extend runway, reduce risk, and make smarter financing decisions, this episode delivers practical guidance you can use immediately.
