ICM and BIS monthly cashflow 'tip' to small businesses

E-mail

19 January 2011

The Institute of Credit Management (ICM) and the Minister of State for Business and Enterprise Mark Prisk have published their monthly 'tip' for small businesses to better manage their cashflow.

"If cash is short and you can't pay a supplier on the due date, talk to them as soon as you can. The earlier you do, the more flexible they will be and the more likely they are to be able to accommodate an extension to payment arrangements."

The cashflow 'tips' are derived from the series of Managing Cashflow Guides published by the ICM for BIS that have to date been downloaded more than 270,000 times.
