Paying off debt is paramount in Glo-Bus and does wonders for your credit rating when combined with a decent net profit. Some company’s think that it is smart to carry a large cash balance, but that’s the equivalent of putting all your personal money into a “checking” account and not paying off your credit card bill.
The correct way to do this screen is to basically pay off as much debt as possible while leaving enough a bit more than enough to cover the year’s expenses. This makes the game rather interesting as it becomes a balancing act of always having enough money for each of the 4 quarters, while still paying down debt.
In relation to Glo-Bus’s big brother, BSG, Glo-Bus focuses upon cash flow for each quarter instead of annual year ends. The Glo-Bus financial screen is quite interesting in terms of business simulations.
