The cash flow is very important in the business because it is the blood that flows in the operation. When there is no cash then it will be a problem to pay the obligations of the business like the rental, utilities or worse you have no money to buy supplies. In a retailing business there is a standard level of liquidity – that means the cash in the business purse (or in the bank) should be sufficient to pay for the expected expenses and also some of the unexpected expenses.

Definitely, I think the watchword here is management. Being able to manage your cashflow both inward and outward. The simple rule is that never allow your expenses exceed your income. This is simply how profit is made. As a business owner avoid being a spendthrift, buying unnecessarily things. Buying by impulse and spending money on fancy things. The best bet is looking for ways to increase your income while reducing to the barest minimum your expenses. Investing the profit will be better

1. Change operating procedures. You need to generate more sales while reducing expenses. To increase your sales, try cross selling offering new services or goods that complement your current offerings.
2. Stay visible and connected. Accreditations, licenses and certifications for your business or individual employees can set you apart from your competition.
3. Maximize your cash flow. One of the best way to achieve a stable cash flow is to offer pre paid retainers or ongoing payment plans for your clients.
4. Streamline management costs. How efficient are your employees? How many customer leads do you get? How much are you owed in accounts receivable? Create a system for employees to access and add data, keep all information updated and synchronized and be sure to build in back office administrative times into your project fees, hourly rates or ongoing charges.
5. Raise the marketing bar.
6. Make everyone a salesperson.

If we could lower the expenses and find a bit cheaper alternatives for our equipment and supplies, the business financial situation may improve. I know it's not simple enough to track down our income and expenses, but if we pay close attention and analyze our finances, also look for areas where there is a need for improving, it can be pretty helpful in managing finance. A qualified bookkeeper can be hired to help save time and ensure that our finances are managed properly. As the business grows, accounting will get more difficult, therefore a professional accountant can be of good help to manage all areas of finances, including, taxes, payroll, etc.

1. Acknowledge current customer behavior.​

Conduct research on how your customers use your products and services. Your products might have a lot of features, but your customers might only use one or two of those features. They might also have difficulty using or implementing other parts of your products or services. This will enable you to upgrade your products or services, or tailor them to your customers' needs for a higher price.

When customers use a particular product, you can cross-sell related products that complement or add to the products they are already using. You have to show them how they will benefit from purchasing the other product. You can also upsell a premium product or service to help customers achieve better results, boost efficiency, reduce expenses or grow their own businesses.

Another approach is to provide customers with personalized training or customer service. Rather than upselling the service, this is an opportunity to strengthen the customer relationship and demonstrate where you can add value. The key is to show the opportunities available to the customer, rather than trying to hard-sell services they might not want.

2. Request customer feedback.​

Whether or not you conduct research on your current customers, it's always a good idea to ask them for feedback on your products and services, as well as how they feel about your customer service. Find out where you might be lacking or where they are having problems. Also, determine what makes them happy about your customer service.

Chase up as many outstanding payments as you can. If you don't have the time, consider using a reputable debt collection agency.

Selling unwanted assets can be a good way to get some cash and reduce your storage costs. Consider leasing your main assets. This helps to spread the cost over a longer period. payments

The only thing that you can do to increase profits is to improve the variables that ultimately determine your level of profitability. When you improve these 10 variables about your business you will increase profits and affect your bottom line,
Lead generation
Lead conversation
No of transactions
Size of transactions
Profit margin par sale
Cost of customer acquisition
Increasing customer referrals
Eliminate costly services and activities
Reduce your break even points
Raise your prices
 
Fund is the most important aspect of business because when you don't have fund its like no business in the first place. Fund is the capital to be used to start the business, it is also the money to be used in the day to day running of the business and finally for the promotion of the goods and services which involves advertisements, marketing and packaging all needs fund.

Good management is also the key. We need to really use good management style if we want to make our business grows. I love the poster number two point. There are some business owners that buy unnecessary things after they have made fortune in the first year of their business. And lastly, you need to employ good hands. When we have good business skill, to really make this actualize, we need to make sure that we employ people that are competent and qualified to handle the business in the right channel thay we want.

For us to succeed in improving our finances we must acquire financial skills that are suitable for the job. We need a good understanding of financial management to be able to improve our finances. And More so we can aswel contract the service of a professional financial analyst. Then probably on our own we can practise a good habit of savings.

As far as I am concerned nobody is comfortable with being in the same position for a long time,it's either you try something else or improvise your product or business, as a business man if you worry over alot you will loose track and focus,pick few areas that can make you business worth while and give it maximum attention.
