Uneven cash flow creating operational disruption and payment crises

0

Definition

Companies heavily dependent on few large clients experience severe cash flow gaps when those clients delay payment. This prevents SMBs from meeting payroll, paying vendors on time, investing in growth, or managing seasonal fluctuations. Large customer payment delays can trigger cascade failures in the business. Lack of real-time receivables visibility prevents proactive decision-making. Service providers can offer cash flow forecasting, customer concentration analysis, payment term negotiation services, and supply chain financing integration to stabilize cash flow.
