Free Up Cash Flow

Sales don't equal profitability and profitability does not equal cash flow. Many businesses find themselves with steady sales numbers and are profitable on their P&L while still strapped for cash. The Consultants at The Gordon Group analyze a businesses financial health to determine the changes owners can make to improve cash flow. We negotiate terms with clients, vendors, and lenders to place businesses in a better cash position.

If your businesses is facing a cash crunch here is a tip to consider:

Call your vendors and negotiate the terms of repayment. You may find that they are willing to work with you by extending your due date or provide you with a discount when paying within a shorter time frame.

Survey: Banks leave CFOs feeling shortchanged - Related Stories - SmartBrief for CFOs

"Tired of being at the mercy of their banks, CFOs are working hard to regain the upper hand.

In a new CFO survey, almost 25% (of 640-plus respondents) describe their relationship with their primary bank as "strictly transactional" — that is, their bank is interested in them only as a source of revenue. Another 20% classify it as "deteriorating" or "abysmal." Between now and the middle of next year, more companies — 19% of midsize businesses and 16% of small businesses, according to Greenwich Associates — will issue requests for proposals, a key step in switching to new banks."
