Why Cash Flow Forecasting Is Essential
Overall business confidence in New Zealand has shown some tentative signs of improvement in 2025. But, the economic reality for many small businesses remains challenging.
Managing your financial health with cash flow forecasting
Coping with weakened sales revenue and rising costs is a recipe for cash flow issues. With less income flowing into the business and higher expenses flowing out, the likelihood is that many Kiwi small businesses are facing a potential cash flow crisis.
The key to avoiding these cash problems is to be in complete control of your future cash position – and that means going deep with your cash flow forecasting.
Cash flow forecasts can be used to:
Avoid financial trouble
Plan for future cash shortcomings
Meet your tax obligations
Plan asset purchases
Plan for growth or expansion
Make an informed decision on whether borrowing is right for you
Benchmark your performance
Test different strategic scenarios
Figure out the best time to invoice
