Cashflow - the Lifeblood of America's Small Businesses
How to Manage Through Times of Economic Uncertainty

When you think of what makes a business healthy, you probably focus on measures like profit, sales growth or customer loyalty. But you can have all of those things and still go out of business if you don't have the one thing that all companies need: cash. It takes cash to pay employees, to pay the rent and to keep the doors open and the lights on.

Because having cash available when you need it is so critical, knowing how to measure, monitor and manage the cash that flows in and out of your business is a vital skill. Here, we have put together the five golden rules in order to make cash flow work for you instead of against you:

• Know how to measure it
• Know the causes of cash-flow problems
• Build strategies that can maximize cash flow
• Prepare for the worst
• Grow smart
