Cash is the lifeblood of a business, and I have found that you never truly understand all that goes into managing the cash of a business until you are in the thick of it. Especially in the holiday season, cash can be a constraint with the need to buy holiday stock levels, supply chain issues, needing to reload before Chinese New Year, and then tax season… There are lots of ways to fund growth and keeping the engine of your business humming along.
