SUMMARY:Understanding Financials for Construction Contractors
DESCRIPTION:For contractors\, the metrics needed to gauge the effectiveness of your construction business can be overwhelming.

Understanding how to calculate and read financial ratios can also help you predict future outcomes for your business — like whether you might get approved for a loan or whether you could be heading toward cash problems!\n\nJoin the Urban League of Louisiana’s Contractor’s Resource Center on Tuesday\, June 15th from 10-11:30a CT\, to learn more about understanding financials for construction contractors. This event is sponsored by Chevron.\n\nAll contractors are welcomed to attend. There is no cost to attend; however\, registration is required.
