Growing fast here in Carson City but cash flow is getting tight. Contingency model means waiting months for payment after utility refunds. How do you manage cash during expansion?
Cash flow management during growth phase
Line of credit saved my business during growth phase. Used it to cover payroll and expenses while waiting for contingency payments. Paid it off once checks arrived.
I started requiring partial payment upfront on larger projects. 25% to start audit, balance when refund is received. Helps with cash flow.
Cash flow challenges are common during rapid growth. Consider factoring contingency receivables if you need immediate cash. Also build relationships with banks that understand your business model.
