Cash-flow forecasting to keep your business solvent
Profit on paper means nothing if you cannot pay the VAT bill in March. A cash-flow forecast shows you what is coming and when.
What's involved
What cash-flow forecasting covers.
- Rolling 12-week and 12-month cash projections
- Timing of VAT, PAYE, Corporation Tax and supplier payments
- Debtor collection patterns and the effect of late payers
- Headroom checks against your overdraft or facility limits
- Early warning of pinch points before they become a crisis
- Scenarios for hiring, equipment or a big new contract
Why it matters
Most businesses that fail are profitable right up to the point they run out of cash. A forecast turns nasty surprises into planned decisions. We match you with a local firm that keeps your forecast current and useful.

Profit is what you earn over a period. Cash flow is the actual money moving in and out, including tax bills and loan repayments. You can be profitable and still short of cash, which is why forecasting matters.
A short 12-week view handles day-to-day pressure, while a 12-month view supports bigger plans. A local firm can build both and update them as things change.
