Spot your danger months: Identify when cash flow usually dips and when it peaks so you can plan ahead instead of panic later.
Audit your vendor terms: Are COD or prepaid orders quietly draining your cash? See where better terms could help.
Protect your bestsellers: Keep your top sellers fully stocked so you’re not losing easy sales.
Build a seasonal safety net: Set aside a small amount of cash regularly to prepare for heavy buying seasons.
Break up with your bank balance: Stop making decisions based on what’s in your account today and start managing real cash flow instead.
