3. Establishing a capital management plan for your company will allow you to determine the functions and processes to prevent overspending or negative cash flow.
4. Among the most used principles to improve cash flow are: Increasing the volume and cost of sales, negotiating terms and conditions with suppliers, eliminating or reducing credit or discount terms, reducing operating and production costs, as well as asking for advances from customers.
5. It is also recommended to have, at least, the equivalent of three months of operating expenses as a cash reserve. For this purpose, you can choose an investment instrument according to your company's needs.
