It may also create conflict and disharmony in families.

-Operating Income

A better source of capital for a company than debt or equity is a positive operating income from quarter to quarter. This is because the company is generating that positive operating income from its own successful business operations. Operating income is also known as earnings before interest and taxes or EBIT. Operating income or EBIT is used to determine how successful the firm's business, actually is.
Positively operating income will generate cash reserves for the firm and eliminate the need for equity financing which is the best of all scenarios for a business firm.
