One of the basic financial principals of being in business today: your revenues can be offset against your expenses.

Sure, some expenses, like meals and entertainment, may be only partially deductible. Other expenses may have to be written off, or “depreciated,” over a period of years. But the basic fundamental concept – revenues justifying expenses – is still pretty easy to understand and explain.
