About this episode

The episode discusses the increasing trend of late payments to small businesses and the importance of managing cash flow effectively.

If you're a small business in particular, you need to be aware of the increasingly challenging playing field when it comes to managing your cash. You need to be prepared to be paid late in a meaningful number of cases, and to do that, you need to make sure you have a sufficient cash-on-hand position to hedge against these increasingly late payments due in from customers.
