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

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
