Cash Flow Management: Keep the Lifeblood of Your Business Strong

There's a reason 87% of small business owners said cash flow management was "extremely important."* Because it can make or break a business. So take charge of your financial future—and start with some of the smart thinking you'll find here.

Quicklist

Think about these four key topics when you're trying to manage your cash flow.

  1. Maximize income.
    Make sure your pricing is fair (to you and your customers) and find ways to diversify your income sources.
  2. Minimize expenses.
    Can you bring down your variable costs? Negotiate lower fixed costs? Find ways to cut, without sacrificing quality.

    Turbulent times and growth spurts each have their unique sets of issues. So have a plan for each.
  4. Know your numbers.
    Keep excellent records, follow standard bookkeeping practices, run frequent reports—every penny counts.
