Let's Create Recovery Together
Welcome To
Miami BDA
WHAT IS BDA?
Business Debtors Anonymous (BDA) is a 12-step group, based on the principles of Debtors Anonymous (DA), created to focus on the recovery of members of the fellowship who are business owners.
In BDA, we learn to operate our business along spiritual lines. We recognize a Power greater than ourselves as the source of our abundance. Together, members of BDA support one another in applying DA principles and tools when owning and running a business.
This BDA meeting is for all who own a business, are self-employed, or who may have an interest in having their own business in the future.
Entrepreneurs, artists, contractors, craftspeople, consultants, merchants, shopkeepers, the self-employed and venture capitalists may all benefit from attending BDA meetings.

TOOLS
We accumulate cash reserves, pay our bills and employees on time. and build a thriving, prosperous, debt-free and financially solvent business.
Here are our tools:
We keep separate professional and personal financial records and bank accounts.
We write annual one-year business plans with definable and accountable goals and targets.
We keep clean, orderly, and accurate financial records, including Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Cash on Hand, Inventory, Assets, and Outstanding Debts, and put all tax and bill due-dates on our calendar.
We pay ourselves a salary including benefits, medical insurance, vacations, and sick days.
We remain mindful that dollars spent should generate revenue, and we compare prices before making purchases.
We maintain clarity about the overhead and profit margins of every product or service we sell.
We pay our bills and invoice our clients promptly.
We put all our business agreements in writing and write our own Letters of Agreement.
We notice the competition but don’t worry about it. We learn from our competitors and trust that it is an abundant universe with more than enough for everyone.
We separate ourselves from difficult personalities and poor-paying clients and place principles before personalities.
We "bookend" before and after making commitments and difficult business decisions or actions.
We are willing to be in charge of and responsible for our business. Professionals who work for us, such as accountants, lawyers, and consultants, are not our Higher Power.
