Where did the cash go?
A sale, an invoice, a payment, a bill and cash in the bank are different things. This is why a busy business can still feel short of money.
Try this first
- Write down money received this week.
- List invoices sent but still unpaid.
- List bills due in the next 14 days.
- Set aside payroll, tax and other known payments.
- Compare the list with the bank balance.
The quiet gap is often the problem.
Profit can look healthy while cash is tied up in unpaid invoices, stock, supplier bills or upcoming payroll. A short weekly check helps you see the gap before it becomes a surprise.
