?FAQs
What's the difference between cash flow and profit?
Profit includes non-cash items (depreciation, receivables). Cash flow only tracks actual money movement. A profitable business can still have negative cash flow if customers don't pay on time.
Why is cash flow important?
Cash flow pays bills, salaries, and expenses. Positive cash flow means you can cover obligations. Negative cash flow can lead to insolvency even if profitable.
How can I improve cash flow?
Accelerate receivables (invoice promptly, offer early payment discounts), delay payables (negotiate terms), maintain cash reserves, and monitor cash flow regularly.
