If you identified that you have more money going out of your business than coming in, you are likely to run out of cash. You could consider restructuring the timing of payments and receipts in your cash budget to stop this anticipated shortfall occurring.
If you cannot do this, you may need to consider cutting costs, improving purchasing power, improved marketing or improving pricing.
