One thing I found useful is Saving a portion of my revenue into a separate account where my money is held and used only in case of an emergency. It should suffice to cover at least 3-6 months of the operating expenses.

Build a contingency fund. Set aside a portion of your revenue into a contingency fund specifically for unexpected expenses. This fund should be easily accessible and sufficient to cover several months of operating expenses. Develop an emergency plan that outlines steps to take in case of unexpected expenses. This should include identifying key personnel, communication protocols, and steps to secure additional funding if necessary.

Some ideas I have had is; 1.- open a savings account for unexpected funds. 2.- separate some money and put it into a fixed term that increases from month to month and then transfer it to a savings account.

Optimizing your cash flow schedule involves anticipating potential disruptions from unexpected expenses. Start by practicing cash flow forecasting analyzing past financial data to predict future cash inflows and outflows. Establish an emergency fund to cover unforeseen costs, ensuring you have a buffer. Regularly review and adjust your forecasts, considering seasonal trends and economic changes. Diversify your income streams to reduce reliance on a single source. Implement cost-control measures to minimize unnecessary spending. Lastly, maintain open communication with suppliers and creditors to negotiate flexible payment terms if needed, keeping your operations smooth.

It’s important when doing cash flow projections to have a strong understanding of the overall nature of the business you are in and not just simply assume the future cash flows will match the past cash flows. Rarely is it ever that easy, especially in asset based businesses and small businesses. As long as the accounting is solid overall and the company is profitable, then it’s easier to just access financing to help accommodate cash needs for investments or large expenses. On paper you can be making great money, but if you aren’t planning and accommodating for upcoming cash needs it can cause severe damage to the business. Opportunities missed at best, and not enough cash to pay loyal employees, vendors, etc at worst.

See to that your business has substantially more than one customer and that the customers come from different sectors and even markets so that not all have a slump at the same time and need to cut back on your provided products and services. Provide both products and services for the buying customers thus creating long-tail billing. Offer a credit option through a financial partner to earn credit commission and boost your own deliveries. Also offer consultancy expertize to people who likely should end up buying from another supplier. Consider to become distributor of other companies products/services to complement your own offering.

One thing I found useful is to arrange Flexible Terms and negotiated with Suppliers; that means make arrangements that include extension to pay or discounts while making early payments for the same, so as to ensure more elasticity in one's cash flow.

Flexible payment terms is often a missed opportunity. Stretching out payment terms without added costs is often a no brainer, especially when you already use financing for other aspects of the business or have accruing interest income. Often you can work out terms that are beneficial for both parties. For example, an agreement I’ve worked out with a manufacturer involves a running a high volume inventory order produced at one time (which is efficient and cost saving for the manufacturer and saves them money) and on our side we pay for the order over 3 months instead of all at once. This helps our cash flow while also benefitting the manufacturer who only needs to run our order once a quarter instead of every month.

I like to conduct regular financial audits to identify any potential risks or areas where costs can be optimized. This helps in maintaining financial health and preparing for unforeseen expenses.

In my experience Periodically review my budget to make sure that it projects current financial realities and includes provisions for unexpected costs is very important point to consider

Mastering expense management is crucial for building financial resilience. Regularly analyze and categorize expenses to pinpoint cost-cutting opportunities without sacrificing operations. Automate processes, renegotiate contracts, and eliminate unnecessary spending. By tightly controlling outflows, you'll boost your emergency fund and safeguard your business from unexpected financial shocks.

First option should be an overdraft credit on the current account at fair interest level+reasonable credit time. Second credit option should be a business credit card with a grace period of 2 months in. Card issuers should Do not use it for cash withdrawals. Pay back card credit usage asap since normallt the overdraft credit has much lower interest level. Third: For costly tangible equipment consider leasing instead of buying. Fourth: Use normal cash management ground-rule: Pay your suppliers as late as possible but demand payment from your customers as soon as possible since this is the cheapest form of credit management.

I think what’s important here is fostering relationships with bankers and investors. You have to speak their language and understand their risk. When you foster positive relationships and show a positive, honest, trustworthy track record over time, so many options open up, and if your banker can’t help you, he likely knows someone who can. Bankers often move to new banks as well and when you have the relationship with them personally then you immediately have a relationship with a new bank and have even more options. Talk to bankers often and be competent in what you do. Learn what options are available and how to get the financing you are seeking. Prepare in advance and avoid “fast cash” options. There are many predatory lenders out there.
