How do you know that your business is in serious financial trouble?
Here are some of the signs to watch out for. If you’re experiencing just one of them, there may not be cause for concern. But if you are experiencing a few, you and your team are probably under significant pressure, and need urgent help.
- Cash flow is unstable and constraining your business and you never seem to have accurate management accounts
- You need credit but can’t get it
- Profits are down, down, down
- Stress levels are up, up, up
- Your creditors are circling
- Your working capital is inadequate
- You are borrowing more and more but it’s never enough
If your business is failing financially, early intervention is critical if your business is to survive. Yes, that much is at stake.
This takes specialist skills and lots of experience, which you probably don’t have. After all, you never set out to run a business in financial distress, right? Even your regular accountant might never have experienced this situation.
