Deciding to close a business is a tough decision. One factor that needs evaluation is your financial return on your investment.  

When you own a business, you deserve to get paid for the time you work and a return on your investment in the business.  

Jim left his $100,000 a year job and invested $200,000 to start his business. Eventually, Jim’s business peaked, and he paid himself $100,000 in salary.  

But there was no profit to pay back his $200,000 investment. Jim’s business would be considered a poor investment. 

In Luke 16:11, Jesus said, “If you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?” 

When deciding about closing a business, you need to evaluate your return on investment to make an objective decision.
