The “Smart Reposition” Playbook
Smart operators create strategic flexibility by steering capital toward core margin drivers and away from drag.
That shift unlocks choice — and choice creates opportunity. (Theme adapted from National Business Capital’s Capital Insights).
Insight adapted from: “How smart business leaders reposition for opportunity.” National Business Capital, Jul 1, 2025.
1) Read the Capital Signals
Track unit economics, contribution margins, CAC payback, and inventory turns. When these point up,
you have the case to deploy capital with confidence.
2) Fund the Margin Drivers
Direct financing toward channels, products, or regions with the highest ROI. Pause or exit low‑yield activities.
3) Keep Optionality High
Mix your capital stack to maintain flexibility: combine working capital, lines of credit, SBA where fit, and
asset‑based solutions so you can move when opportunity appears.
