As SME’s continue to navigate the post-pandemic growth of insolvencies, accurate forecasting and cashflow management remains crucial to business survival.
It is often said that ‘cash is king’, that would be true if business owners truly understood their cashflow for the next quarter, 6 months and as far as out as a year.
The uncertainty in business due to the current economic conditions – supply chain issues, rising interest rates and the potential of wage increases, means that cashflow awareness has never been more important, especially in short-term financial reporting.
As of February this year, inflation was at 6.2 percent, and rising with a potential to move past 8 percent in Spring according to the BoE.
Understanding your cashflow projections is important – no its crucial, when it comes to risk issues such as late payments to suppliers and dare I say in terms of paying staff salaries.
Understanding your cashflow and having accurate forecasting can help you manage what you have and what you need, to alleviate any potential risk issues, giving you the time to make the right risk managed based decisions.
