Negative Effects of Poor Cash Flow Management
Poor cash flow can affect much more than the financial performance of your business. The non-financial costs of poor cash flow can have just as negative an impact on your business as the financial costs. You company may find itself:
- Running into liquidity issues.
- Lacking the proper foresight, future direction, and strategy.
- Paying for additional interest and bank charges
- Having poor relationships with suppliers and customers
- Experiencing restricted growth and development resulting from obscured liquidity position
Effective cash flow management typically involves optimising your payables and collections. As a Singapore business owner, you need to have a clear understanding of their payables and expenses in order to prioritise payments based on their respective criticality and their own account balances. This could be in terms of timing, importance to the business cycle or cost of late payments.
