Is Your Business GROWING Broke?

Even though your business is growing, and your turnover is more than ever before… Your bank balance tells another story.

The number 1 reason for growing small businesses to fail is that they run out of cash!

It’s not because they have poor products or services – most were previously very successful and profitable. It’s because they don’t understand the cash conversion cycle and when a business wants to grow and scale it requires a lot of cash!

Growth Sucks Cash Big time!

Once you understand what your cash conversion cycle is (in days), you can reduce it and grow the business at a sustainable rate.

• Don't understand what the numbers are telling you.

• Product or service pricing and mix are not set to the optimum level.

• Customers take too long to pay, suppliers require payment upfront - stretching your cash cycle.

• Too much debt.

• Poor labour efficiency and utilisation.

• Accounting systems are not set up correctly to provide the right information to make better business decisions.
