One of the biggest challenges that businesses of all sizes face, is maintaining a healthy cashflow.Although I said that businesses of all sizes face this challenge, the ones that feel this challenge the most are typically SMEs.

This strain is often felt the most by the owner manager!

Many businesses focus on increasing their sales and profits and often fall into the trap of forgetting about cashflow. If you are making lots of sales and profits, then there will surely be plenty of cash available in the business, right?
