Review - 3 – Cash Flow Assessment

Main Menu

Understanding your current cash flow is an incredibly important factoring in assessing your business's financial health. Begin by reviewing the questions below and then the topic-specific resources.
  • Have you determined how much cash your business currently has available by creating a cash flow statement?
  • Have you created a balance sheet and a profit and loss statement from the beginning of the current fiscal/calendar year?
  • Have you spoken to your landlord about securing more favorable rent or mortgage terms?
  • Have you spoken to your lender to determine if existing loan terms can be renegotiated?
  • Have you evaluated where you can reduce or eliminate costs?
  • Can you afford to reopen your business? If you cannot afford your recovery plan, have you considered exiting the business?
  • Do you have unused assets that should be sold?
