2) Don't purchase too much stock<br />

It can be tempting to buy too much stock based on past experience or maybe even<br />

just a hunch.<br />

Don't.<br />

Every stock purchase should be made based on good market intelligence and,<br />

preferably, information from an up-to-date stock management system.<br />

Always monitor your current stocks and look at historical records to see how<br />

they've been used.<br />

If you can, look at "just-in-time" methods of stocking where you can call on your<br />

suppliers as and when you need a product.<br />

3) Keep on top of your debtors<br />

When people don't pay on time it can really upset your cash flow.<br />

Always negotiate terms with your clients that won't leave you out of pocket for too<br />

long, and make sure they keep to them.<br />

If you have to wait months for payment, then it could mean that the company<br />

you're dealing with is in trouble itself, or they just have policies against paying on<br />

time.<br />

If the latter, you need to ask yourself if you're happy with that.<br />

If not, then are they the type customer you want?<br />

If customers aren't paying, then it might be time to involve a debt collection agency<br />

that can help you get your money on time.
