Top 5 tips to improve cash flow for business

It would be one hundred percent true to say that cash is the soul of any business enterprise. Is not that obvious? How would a business, comprising debtors and creditors, survive if cash does not rotate between them? Then, it would be appropriate to draw out a conclusion that the business does not own any assets nor any liabilities. However, not going astray the main topic of how to improve cash flow for business, here shall we hint you some ways to achieve a better position than the previous financial year:-

The payment discipline

A business gets its own reputation if it receives and clears off the credit balance within its limit. This payment disciple is one of the most important factors that actually encourage the young entrepreneurs to invest more and more. If for any reason the business is not able to get its debt paid then it must try continual yet friendly reminders to the party concerned. A business should have enough reserve with which it is able to balance off its own payment with its creditors. The percentage to be dependent upon the debts to be first paid off, in order to clear one’s own debts should be 40%.

Though, in the long run too many bad debs may rob the whole company of its business, it must have a reserve strong enough to sustain 20% bad debt. This is one of the major ways to improve cash flow for business.

Clever strategy

A business could focus on a strategy that is more focused on the sales rather than making profit. A simple formula that goes in is that more sales offer more cash flow to the company, lending it an edge to boast about its volume of sales. An added advantage that the company enjoys selecting this strategy is more people to do business, hence more trustworthy creditors. Still, even this business technique has an exception. If a company is venturing into a whole new product which is not provided by any in the market, that is if the business gets the first mover advantage, and it does not want to sell the rights at least for a decade, then they may try out the profit focused strategy. This effectively does improve cash flow for business.

Consolidation services

A wide range of these services could include after sales services, on call services, home delivery, product return apologies, customer relationship management, feedback system, and a host of others that would put trust on the customers, that the brand that they have chosen is a very good one. These business consolidation services also come under regular image building exercises, on-going advertisements and customer calls.

These are only a few of them tips that could increase the cash flow in the business along with improving the brand image of the company. If you feel reluctant to apply all these by yourself then you must approach agencies that expertise in interim management services.
