If you're gearing up to start a box truck business, this calculator is a great reality check for your startup capital. It figures out exactly how many months you can keep the lights on while you learn the ropes, comparing a personal credit union loan against commercial financing. The math assumes you bring in zero revenue during this runway period—a smart, conservative way to plan for the worst-case scenario. You'll just want to make sure your estimates for insurance and maintenance reserves are as accurate as possible, since those can vary wildly for new authorities.
