Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between profit and cash flow?

Profit is your revenue minus expenses on an accounting basis. Cash flow is the actual movement of money in and out of your bank account. You can be profitable but have negative cash flow if customers haven't paid you yet.

Why is cash flow management important?

Cash flow is the lifeblood of a business. Without cash, you cannot pay employees, suppliers, or rent, even if your business is showing a profit on paper.

How can I improve my cash flow?

Invoice customers quickly, offer discounts for early payment, negotiate longer terms with suppliers, and manage your inventory levels carefully.
