What should I do if my business runs out of cash?

If your business is thin on cash, you could be in for a rough time and end up shutting down or even going bankrupt. But that doesn't have to happen! There are things you can do to keep your business running until the breaks actually come. Here are some of them.
1. Cut Costs
The first thing that you need to do is cut costs. Everything from the rent or mortgage of your office to the amount you pay your workers and yourself, every dollar counts. Make some decision about whether or not it's worth keeping this worker or paying this worker, and then decide on how much you're willing to spend.
2. Look for More Funding 1
This is something that might seem bad at first, but it's actually a good way to get more money flowing into your business without having to spend any more of your own money! In business, there are people who will be willing to invest a certain amount in return for a certain percentage of your business. Think carefully about this one, as it can be risky to have someone else in control of your business, but if you're low on cash it could be just what you need.

Another way to get more funding is by accepting loans from banks or other institutions. However, most banks will only give out so much money in loans, and they certainly won't do it for free! If you want a loan from a bank, you'll have to make sure that you can pay them back with your business profits!
