*Money for living and business expenses for at least three months should
be set aside in a bank savings account and should not be used for any
other purpose. This is a money "cushion" to help get through the
starting period with a minimum of worry. If expense money for a longer
period can be provided it will add to peace of mind and help the
entrepreneur concentrate on building the business.
