Tips to keep your cashflow strong

Tracking your cash flow and knowing what goes in and out of your pocket can help you better assess the overall situation of your business. At the end of the day, you want to minimize your expenses and increase your profits. However, this is not always the case as there are numerous factors that affect the business. Keeping your cash flow strong is one of the steps toward good financial health. Below are some of the tips for improving the cash flow of your business.

1) Always create a budget – Business owners should thoroughly check the inflows and outflows of the cash in the business. They need to actively include the sales cycle, creditors, debtors, discounts provided by the customer, etc. Lotus Smart Accounting can help you create a budget plan for your business to get you ready for any unforeseen circumstances.

2) Reduce overheads – Do your staff go on overtime a lot? Do you have a lot of expenses? Reducing overheads can improve your cash flow, so think carefully about what you are spending the most. Don’t just consider overtime, look at your expenses such as power and water bills.

3) Have a Plan B – Always have a Plan B just like the greatest generals of our history.  No matter how much planning you do, there are unexpected events that can suddenly come in wreaking your strategies. During these times, businesses need to have a contingent source of cash to keep the operation running.
