Valuable Lessons From Filing Bankruptcy with Luisa Alberto

The Good Food CFO podcast

Filing for bankruptcy is not an experience most business owners talk about, and that’s unfortunate. Shared experiences is just one way business owners can learn, grow and make informed decisions. Nothing is predictable and everyone’s situation is different, but there’s always something valuable to learn from other business owner’s journeys.

Today on the podcast Sarah is joined by Luisa Alberto, CEO of People First Finance, a virtual CFO agency that provides bookkeeping, tax planning and financial strategy services to women business owners.

Luisa has eighteen years of finance and operations experience working alongside visionary leaders of successful Bay area startups and earned her first entrepreneurial stripes as owner and operator of a boutique Made to Order Juice bar in San Francisco. Her mission these days is to ease the financial burden and overwhelm that holds too many talented self employed women back from reaching their full potential and making a successful living as the brilliant creators they were born to be.

Luisa is sharing her bankruptcy story, insights and advice including:

• Why HOW you take on debit in your business matters (even for an LLC)
• How taking on business debt the ‘wrong way’ led her to filing for bankruptcy
• Her journey from Bankruptcy to a thriving new business
• How she views debt and risk today
• Tips for assessing risk and taking on debt in your business
