Financial issue
I’ve owned my business for the past 8 years ( I don’t work any 9-5 or W2 jobs ), and all of my work is contract based. Most of my contracts are booked 8–12 months in advance, with deposits already collected to perform the work on the scheduled dates.
Long story short, I have AT scheduled this summer, and no orders have been cut yet. My unit is aware of my business obligations but is still insisting/making it sound like I have to go.
I’ve already prepared a memo and attached invoices/contracts showing that I currently have 7 projects scheduled during that time, totaling $15,800. While I am sending team members out to assist, I still need to be personally present at those jobs, as far as quality control goes.
My question is: if my unit is giving me a hard time about this, who should I send the memo to in order to properly explain my financial situation and request consideration, split training?
Any advice from anyone who has dealt with something similar would be greatly appreciated.
