If my business is profitable, I will have lots of cash, won’t I?

If only it was that simple, I have seen lots of profitable business killed by cashflow. One of the major causes of this is slow paying clients or none paying clients, the problem is often made worse by having to pay staff and suppliers quickly or needing to invest in capital equipment.

It is true, that in time, profit will become cash, but be careful not to over trade and take on more work than your cashflow can sustain.
