      CASH FLOW MANAGEMENT


    Problem :   In every business, big or small, cash flow is essential for every company for its survival.

Delayed invoicing is the root cause which disturbs cash flow.

  •    Make faster invoice payments, invoice the clients in 15 days such that even if the payment is delayed you will have another 15 days to address the payment and pay back your bills on time.
  •    Budget your money before hand. Keep a separate amount for expenses that will only be used to pay off these bills. This way you will have different sets of money, the one for expenses and the one which you earned.
  •    Down payment has never been a bad option, it will cover all your expenses plus you won’t end up paying other’s bills. When if you get late on your payments, think about sending checks via mail.


    •   HIRING PEOPLE


    Problem :   Hiring people takes up many days and it not only wastes time but also takes your company a bit back.

  •    Hire a person whom you think understood you the best and is capable to meet your requirements. Later on after hiring a few people, you can make them understand your need and they could find other people for you.

    Problem :   Accept the fact that many of us don’t even know from where to start! One stays so confused and unasserted about our product that we ourselves start to have thoughts like where to begin from all over again, especially while launching our products. Who will be the targeted audience, where to display our product or how to make people reach us?


    Solutions :   Here are few suggestions to excel your marketing game :

  •     It is always a good idea to take someone’s help regarding marketing. Why to risk everything when you are not capable? Other than this, find someone who is capable of doing things in this field and hire them as your helper.
  •     Being an entrepreneur doesn’t means that you will have to do everything all by yourself. Being an entrepreneur means to have smart ways to reach out your goal with help of people and a correct vision with aim.


    •   WORKING CAPITAL


    Problem :   Everyone at an initial stage has a very less capital to work upon but later on when you start growing this becomes very difficult and eventually you will be in need of more and more capital.


    Solutions :   Here are few suggestions to manage your working capital requirements :

  •     Taking small bank loan can help in your short term requirements. Being it a small loan, it won’t be difficult to pay back later on. It can be very handy to kick start your company. Then after things go on track, pay off the bank loan and have a perfect business.
  •     Focus on some main customers as an initial step, after your customers start paying, focus on more people. This way from a small step you will go onto bigger steps slowly and steadily. This way in between you will be able to enhance your capital and increase slowly. Always remember, since our childhood we have been taught that ‘slow and steady wins the race’; hence move slow but with success.
