Business is only ever a failure if you've learned nothing.
It is not uncommon for a business to fall into financial difficulty. If yours has, know that you aren’t the first and won’t be the last.
Lets begin
Most mega-corporations have substantial debt on their balance sheets. However, there is a clear distinction between manageable debts and those that could significantly jeopardise the business.
It’s always important to know and identify when a business could be at risk financially and understand precisely where you stand personally. Sometimes, the most unexpected things can happen, for example, a global pandemic!
You may not be prepared for the impact that a situation like this can have on the day-to-day running of your business. Still, you should always have an idea of the financial impact on the business and the impact on you if something goes wrong, as well as how to manage the situation correctly.

Businesses need cash; that’s their lifeblood; they need money flowing in quickly. Some companies can get money quicker than others. Have you ever wondered why that is the case? It’s because they have an excellent credit management process in place. The better your credit management process, the more chance you have of your business surviving.
You can sell as much as you wish, but selling is pointless if you are not receiving payment. We have two articles for you to read. They will help you understand the significance of a credit management process and the necessity of separating business from friendship. The purple box below has you covered.
