The Dual Nature of Business Transactions

Every single business transaction is a two-part story. When your company buys a new laptop,

you're not just losing cash. You're actually swapping one asset, money,

for another asset, the laptop. Your company's total value stays the same,

just the form it's in. It's a balanced trade. Even taking out

a loan is a dual move. Your cash goes up, but so does your debt.

Both sides of your financial story grow equally. This is the difference between a simple

"event," like signing a contract, and a real "operation," which is the moment it gets recorded.
