You will learn how to generate cash flow from your business to survive\, meaning it can cover its expenses\, repay your vendors\, and expand your business. \nYou will gain a basic understanding of how to plan & generate cash from your business activities to manage your cash situation so that you maintain the right amount of money to meet your immediate and long-term needs. \nIn addition\, we will discuss Cash Flow (Asset Base) financing as opposed to collateral financing based on equipment\, real estate\, etc. \nSession 2 – Improving Cash Management \nThis lesson plan will provide insight into improving your Cash Management processes and procedures.

A company’s cash flow is tied directly to its operations or business activities\, specifically; to its investment activities (such as the purchase of the sale of capital equipment)\, and to its financing activities (such as raising debt or equity funding for purposes of repaying such funding. While a company can fudge its earnings\, its cash flow provides an idea (blueprint) about its real financial health. \nRecommendations and requirements: \nYou must register via the Eventbrite registration page. \nAll registered attendees will receive an email with the link to access the event before the event. \nPlatform: Zoom (recommended to download app if accessing through a mobile device)Recommended browsers: For the best experience\, please use one of these browsers: Edge\, New Chromium Edge\, Chrome\, or Firefox.
