21.01.2022 Cash flow tip #2- Invoice and collect your payments faster. The faster you invoice your customers the faster you can bring in money. Don't fall behind on your invoicing and don't be shy about chasing up late invoices. If your customers are overdue on their payments, chase them up. You can't afford to be slow on this. At the end of the day you need to remember that you're not asking for donations, you're requesting payment for work you've done. This can be such an easy win for your business. If you don't have the time to invoice or chase up your customers, outsource it. This life blood of your business so don't be fall behind on it. #trendsight

06.01.2022 When was the last time you looked at your Balance Sheet? Of the 3, Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow, the Balance Sheet is probably the most neglected. This is unfortunate because as a business owner, it has some really valuable information that can help inform decisions. In summary, it's a snapshot of your business split into the 3 following sections:... Assets - Think cash, receivables (customers who owe you money) equipment, machinery vehicles, etc Liabilities - This is what you owe. Think loans, payables (suppliers who you owe money), etc Equity/Net Assets - This is Assets minus Liabilities Simply put a positive Net Assets number is good and a negative one is bad. If you want to get a bit more fancy, you can start looking at ratios like: - Debt ratios - Current ratios - Days payable outstanding - Days sales outstanding Get in touch to find out more about how these can help your business. #trendsight
