• To improve cash flow, shorten the invoicing and A/R period, such as:– Offer early payment discounts– Structure contracts to say “payment upon receipt
of invoice” or “net 15”– Invoice on the 15th and 30th, for better timing
• Or obtain a deposit for services rendered or a partial payment in advance

SummarySummarySummarySummary
- This (unplanned cash flow shortage) is how fast growing companies can go bankrupt.
- Companies book revenue at a rate multiples higher than the previous year but they have negative operational cash flow.
- These companies don’t have the financing/working capital to cover the gap in operational cash flow.
- You must engage in budget planning and analysis before EACH and every project in order to plan your cash needs.
