There are several ways that the business can remain profitable while having adequate cash flow as outlined below.

Collect Customer Payments

Ensure that customer's invoices are sent out promptly. Implement a debt collection process so that when the invoice remains unpaid by the due date, you can follow-up with clients immediately to obtain the payment.

Implement a process to minimise the chance of a client not paying after the work has been completed. You must conduct adequate credit checks on all customers to minimise putting your business cash flow at risk.
