Overview
We were incorporated on
The Company is not a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and does not engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities. The Company is not managed like an active investment vehicle, is not an investment company registered under the 1940 Act, and is not required to register under the 1940 Act.
Additionally, in accordance with the 1940 Act, Section 3(c)(1), the Company is not an Investment Company as defined by the 1940 Act because the Company does not have outstanding securities beneficially owned by more than one hundred persons and, at this time, the Company is not making and does not presently propose to make a public offering of its securities. Additionally, the Company has not and has no plans to purchase or acquire any securities issued by any registered investment company.
Our business focuses on providing advisement services to entrepreneurs and assisting business owners so that their ideas can be fully developed and implemented. Due to limited resources, lack of experienced management and competing priorities, startup and developmental stage companies are not operating as efficiently as they can be, and therefore would benefit from an outside party that could assist in developing and executing certain strategies. We utilize our knowledge in developing businesses, share practical experiences with our clients and introduce the business owners to experienced professionals who could help these inexperienced entrepreneurs further implement their ideas. Startups and development stage businesses across all industries commonly experience these certain "growing pains".
18 Plan of Operations
Our plan is to prepare our clients for the many inevitable challenges they will encounter and to develop a customized plan for them to overcome these obstacles, so that they can focus on marketing their product(s) and/or service(s) to their potential customers.
Although we've only worked with three clients since inception, our goal is to add and service a minimum of two to three new clients between now and the end of 2021. We're marketing our services through both personal contact and online by (a) mining our existing network of professional contacts via personal outreach programs, which will also target international prospects that may wish to enter the US market; (b) expanding our network by attending targeted conferences and professional gatherings; and (c) utilizing our website at www.balancelabs.co, plus engaging potential clients on social media, including LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. However, because we have a limited budget allocated for our year one on-line marketing campaign, we anticipate that professionals within our professional network and personal referrals from companies that are satisfied with our professional services are likely to be our most significant and efficient near-term form of marketing.
The Company incorporated or formed six subsidiaries since 2016,

We believe that we can support our year one clients with our existing full-time staff, supplemented with part-time subcontracted professionals and service providers, as necessary. Between now and the end of 2021, we intend to formalize our relationships with these sub-contractors so that we can offer our clients turn-key business development products and services.
Our primary requirement for funding is for working capital in order to accommodate temporary imbalances between cash receipts and cash expenditures (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources").

Working capital (deficiency)
Availability of Additional Funds
Except for the monthly consulting fee to our CEO and Chairman of the Board and the month-to-month lease of our office space, as described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, we currently do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures. We are actively pursuing new client relationships. Even if we were to add a new client(s), due to our current lack of a diversified client base, there could be temporary imbalances between cash receipts and cash operating expenditures, which means that we may need additional capital. The engagement revenues associated with most client engagements will self-fund the in-house and sub-contractor services we need in order to supply products and services to our clients.

The Company anticipates the receipt of funding within such period, but there can
be no assurance that it will occur. If the Company is unable to meet its
internal revenue forecasts or obtain additional financing on a timely basis, it
may have to delay vendor payments and/or initiate cost reductions, which would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations, and ultimately it could be forced to discontinue the
Company's operations, liquidate, and/or seek reorganization under the
Furthermore, COVID-19 has also caused severe disruptions in transportation and limited access to the Company's facilities resulting in limited support from its staff and professional advisors. This in turn has limited the Company's resources in promoting its services and acquiring additional capital.

Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for revenues under FASB ASC 606, which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all the five following criteria are met: (1) Identify the Contract with a Customer, (2) Identify the Performance Obligations in the Contract, (3) Determine the Transaction Price, (4) Allocate the Transaction Price to the Performance Obligations in the Contract, and (5) Recognize Revenue When (or As) the Entity Satisfies a Performance Obligation.
Recent Accounting Standards
We have implemented all new accounting standards that are in effect and may impact our consolidated financial statements and do not believe that there are any other new accounting standards that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
