ISSUE TEASER:

Safety specialist Ron Friman implores window cleaners who find glass defects to tell their customers immediately. Friman shares a glass-scratch incident that happened to his company many years ago.

Learn all about equity financing, loans, and the US Small Business Association. AWC contributor Mark E. Battersby also shares common fund expansion fears and how to conquer them.
