It's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of business management, especially when it involves a new venture. It's easy to forget that managing your cash flow is as important as managing your inventory or making sure your employees have new pens. But it isn't just important, it's essential. Your cash flow can make or break you.

The first step to managing positive cash flow is to make sure you're getting paid on time by your customers. You should always provide an invoice quickly and follow up with payment reminders, but you should also make the payment process as easy as possible for them so they're more likely to pay on time. You should also check credit references on large orders if you aren't sure about a client's ability to pay. If you can establish net terms early in the relationship, that will help, too.

When it comes to paying bills, you want to take advantage of discounts available to those who pay early (2% or 5% off is common). And when you do pay your bills, make sure that you are only paying for expenses that are absolutely necessary at the moment—don't pay for anything extra unless it will save money in the long run.
 
When I know that I am not earning much as I could, I wouldn't go above my spending limit. If I own a business I won't use my profit as a means of solving my daily bills. It will cut down the cash flow drastically low, i will leave it for a while before using it for any bill settlement, by then it must have accumulated high amount of funds. Then I'll know how to save some and use some for my needs. But it is advised to keep the business profit aside especially when the business is just prematurely in order to reinvest the profit and bolster it's cash flow.
