Cash Flow is King

For Nigerian SMEs, cash flow is the difference between thriving and closing shop. Here are 10 proven strategies.

10 Strategies

1. Invoice Promptly

Send invoices immediately after delivery. Use FedaCash's free invoicing tools.

2. Offer Early Payment Discounts

Offer clients 2-5% discount for paying within 10 days.

3. Use Invoice Discounting

Convert unpaid invoices to cash in 24-48 hours instead of waiting 60-90 days.

4. Negotiate Better Terms

Ask suppliers for 30-60 day payment terms.

5. Build a Cash Reserve

Use cooperative savings to build a buffer for slow periods.

6. Reduce Expenses

Audit subscriptions, services, and operational costs regularly.

7. Use Inventory Financing

Don't tie up cash in stock - finance inventory instead.

8. Diversify Revenue

Don't rely on one or two customers for most revenue.

9. Monitor KPIs

Track Days Sales Outstanding, Days Payable Outstanding, and cash conversion cycle.

10. Plan for Seasonality

Anticipate slow periods and save ahead during peak seasons.
