The richer your business gets on paper, the broker it can feel in real life.
Here's the trap nobody warns product businesses about.
It's the inventory cash trap.
You land a huge order. Amazing news. But to fulfill it, you have to sink every dollar you have into inventory or materials first and then wait weeks or months to actually get paid.
So the bigger you grow, the tighter your cash gets. Your success is literally starving your bank account.
We see it constantly with distributors, manufacturers, and e-com brands.
Record revenue. Empty checking account. Can't take the next order because the last one ate all their cash.
The fix is a cash flow buffer - a line of credit or purchase order financing that funds the inventory now, so you can say yes to the order instead of watching it walk away.
Have you ever had to turn down an order because of cash? 👇
