The Problem

Profitable on paper. Starved of cash in reality.

Most SME leadership teams run their business from the profit & loss statement. But profit is an opinion — cash is a fact. Growth quietly consumes cash, and by the time it shows up in the bank balance, the opportunity to act has often passed.

The result: hard-won revenue trapped in debtors, inventory and inefficient pricing — cash that is already yours, sitting just out of reach.

Cash is tight despite growing sales
You can’t see which decisions create or destroy cash
Funding growth feels like a constant strain
Business value is lower than it should be
The Cost of Poor Cash Flow

Poor cash flow is expensive — in ways the P&L never shows

Slower Growth

Every euro trapped in working capital is a euro you cannot reinvest in the business.

Higher Cost of Capital

Cash shortfalls force expensive borrowing — or missed opportunities entirely.

Lower Business Value

Buyers pay for predictable cash generation. Weak cash conversion depresses valuation.

The Framework

Seven levers. One powerful truth.

Small, achievable improvements across seven financial levers combine to generate a significant increase in cash — often more than any single big initiative.

01

Increase Price

A small, well-positioned price increase flows almost entirely to the bottom line — and to cash.

02

Increase Sales Volume

Growing units sold, when margins hold, compounds cash generation across the business.

03

Reduce Cost of Sales

Tightening direct costs lifts gross margin on every single sale you make.

04

Reduce Overheads

Disciplined fixed-cost management protects profitability without touching growth.

05

Reduce Debtor Days

Collecting faster converts revenue you have already earned into cash in the bank.

06

Reduce Inventory Days

Leaner stock frees trapped cash and reduces the working capital your growth demands.

07

Increase Creditor Days

Sensibly extending supplier terms keeps cash working inside your business for longer.
