Cashflow and Export

Abstract

The in‐flow of cash is vital to any business. If companies are to survive and grow, cash must flow into the business at a rate adequate to meet commitments. Cashflow must be budgeted and carefully controlled at all times and, during times of recession, cashflow control takes on even greater importance. If the in‐flow of cash is to be adequate, and profits are to be maximised, proceeds from sales must be received as close as possible to the due date. Any delay in the receipt of sums due will reduce profits and, in extreme cases, could bring about the insolvency of the business.
