cash flow
Bartering is a tried and true (and ancient) business practice. It is still commonly used in many countries in every day business interactions. For whatever reason, it is not as common in the U.S. but this doesn’t mean it should be forgotten altogether!
If your small business is still afloat but you find yourself short on cash, give bartering and honest look. There are many barter exchanges which you can join and here’s how it works:
Step 1: Research the barter exchanges. Like I said there are a lot out there so do some research and pick the one you... Read more

Running a business is difficult. From looking after staffing to ensuring sales and profit targets are met, not to mention dealing with suppliers and local state laws, it can often seem like a thankless task.

Q: I want to make some changes next year, but especially I want to increase my cash flow. How can I do that?
Jerry
A: While it is no surprise that cash flow is a huge issue for almost any business that fails, and that businesses that do well are usually awash in ready cash, it is surprising to me just how few small businesses make ready and steady cash flow a priority.
The fact is, cash flow is the oxygen of your business. It allows you to breath, and the lack of it strangles your business. Cash flow allows... Read more

f you own a small business, you know that all those expenses can slowly creep up on you - until suddenly you feel in over your head. Don’t worry, you’re not alone - plenty of business owners have been in the same situation and have stayed afloat by cutting some of their expenses.
