Relying on your bank balance to see where you are financially could be misleading and lead a business into trouble. For instance you may have excellent control of your customers and they may pay on good terms but are you paying your suppliers on the same terms? What about monies owed to the PAYE, VAT, HP, Company/Personal tax bills etc? If you have money in the bank you may think of this as profit and spend what really needs to earmarked for other liabilities. |
