Common causes of cash flow problems in business
Often, businesses speak to us because they have cash flow problems and are struggling to implement a fix as Management are firefighting day-to-day challenges.
Common causes of cash flow problems include:
• Loss of contract or customer
• High overhead costs such as rent and business rates, which can put a strain on cash flow
• Slow payment by debtors can cause problems within the business in paying its own creditors and employees
• Overstock of products due to poor stock management
• Bad debts
• Pressure on profit margins
Immediate assistance
Our dedicated team is on hand to provide assistance to Directors of companies in financial difficulties. When a company is insolvent, a Director has a duty to minimise losses to stakeholders. Our senior management are available to talk to you about the problems you and your company face with complete confidentiality.
How do I fix cash flow problems?
Positive cash flow is vital to the success of your business. Whilst fixing the immediate problem, it is also important to implement longer-term changes to stop this from happening again. Whilst each case should be individually considered, there are a number of options you can consider to fix your cash flow challenge:
- Speak to supplier and negotiate payment terms
- Reduce the cost of your payroll
- Sell assets and any excess inventory you don’t need
- Consider closing down divisions of your business that are loss-making
- Refinance on better terms
