What to do if you're short on business funds

Getting your company off the ground is no easy feat, so it's good to be prepared for any and all eventualities. Thankfully, there are many ways to keep yourself afloat while you work on growing your business.

The best thing you need to do is start gathering business money. This can be done in a number of ways, but the most basic of which is probably just charging customers – or putting value into the account. You can also set a price to use your services and then charge it for an extended period of time.

You'll find that without having a product or service to sell, this strategy isn't very effective at generating quick cash. However, if you do have products to sell then you'll find that many people will pay for them as soon as they see you're serious about running your business full-time. You can even give them a discount on your products if they pay up front.

Caution: This requires that you actually have products or services to sell. Otherwise, you're going to be left with a lot of angry people demanding refunds. It's also important to remember that people may not want the product or service you're selling. You'll need to convince customers that your company is the right choice. It can be hard for new companies without a track record, but if you offer value for money it might be enough for customers to take a chance on an unknown quantity.

In case of shortfall with business funds, you should start by eliminating any non-essential costs to conserve the cash flow. First, give priority to income-generating ventures and put on hold any inefficient projects. Consider business credit cards, lines of credit or short-term financing options to link with the gap. Re-negotiate payment terms with vendors and suppliers. Use the existing inventory or assets into liquidity. Get in touch with investors as and when needed. The discipline and creative problem solving will help you get over the cash crunches for a short while.
