The Bank is the heart of all businesses and therefore a stronger Bank balance would normally indicate a strong business.  This is why it is essential to keep on top of Debtors (Customers who owe you money) and try and extend the payment to Creditors (suppliers to whom you owe money) as far as possible.  A business showing Bank borrowing means that they are reliant on the banks in times of low productivity.  This is why many businesses will use hire or lease facilities as these do not show up in the Balance Sheet.
