Know Your Cycle
Map when cash comes in and goes out. Shorten receivables; extend payables when possible.
Forecast Weekly
A 13‑week cash forecast prevents surprises.
Invoice Fast
Bill immediately, offer small early‑pay discounts, and enforce late fees.
Control Inventory
Adopt just‑in‑time where feasible. Dead stock kills cash.
Build a Cash Cushion
Keep 1–2 months of operating expenses in reserve.
