1. Measure, manage, and forecast cash: Make a plan (30, 60 and 90 days ahead), take advantage of simple tools and learn to optimize your cash.

2. Extract additional investment capital: offer an incentive for early-pay to your customers, ask for payment options and discounts from your vendors, invest your spare cash and share your resources to reduce capital expenses.

3. Create a capital plan before you need it: Plan ahead by establishing lines of credit when times are good and cash is flowing well, include your banker as an extension of your team and…ask for referrals from everyone!
