Cash Management
If you're like most businesses, managing your cash - or "cash flow" - will be one of your most important and ongoing challenges. For new businesses, it usually takes awhile before you can determine the right balance between bringing in cash and paying it out to meet your obligations.
There are numerous factors that may affect your businesses' cash flow, such as but not limited to:
- seasonal fluctuations
- the length of time between getting an order and receiving payment
- the paying patterns of your main clients/customers
At Synergy, we help business owners every day with the cash flow management process, such as:
- providing sufficient operating lines of credit
- discussing cash management best practices
- paying attention to the warning signs related to your business
How to manage and increase your cash flow
Business Overhead Expense Coverage
As a business owner, everything depends on your ability to work. If you or a co-owner can’t generate income for your business because of an illness or disability, Business Overhead Expense coverage can alleviate financial pressure and help you meet ongoing expenses without worry while you’re unable to work. Coverage will pay:
- fixed business costs, such as salaries to retain employees
- fixed expenses like rent, property taxes and utilities
Does your business fit into your retirement plans?
Key Person Coverage
There are key people in every business — team members who are essential to how your operation runs. In a small business, losing a key person can mean serious consequences. A Key Person coverage can help keep your business running and protect your bottom line while you navigate the loss. Key Person policy will cover the costs associated with:
- hire or train an appropriate recruit
- protect profits by offsetting lost income from lost sales or losses due to a delay or cancellation of a project involving a key person
