A cash flow problem is easily defined. It is when the outgoings of a business exceed the monies that are coming in. If the outgoings continue to exceed the incoming funds, it is likely that the business will enter into a formal insolvency procedure.
What can I do if my Company can’t meet its liabilities?
First and foremost, if your business is unable to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due, it is technically insolvent and careful consideration should be given as to how you continue to trade. However, although technical insolvency brings about its concerns, it is far from a formal insolvency procedure. There are correlations between having a cash flow problem and insolvency, but if the business is fundamentally sound, then hopefully with careful management and professional guidance, the cash flow issues being suffered can be overcome.
Not only does a cash flow problem affect a Company’s ability to trade in the short-term, it can also have lasting implications if the correct advice is not followed.

How do I know if it is just a cash flow problem?
