Hey there,  Reader
Cash flow can make or break your business — and when it comes to funding, investors and lenders look at your cash flow before anything else.
Even profitable businesses lose out on funding opportunities because of a few common cash flow mistakes that make their numbers look unreliable.
- Late Invoicing and Missed Payments
Waiting too long to invoice or follow up on payments leaves you with unpredictable cash flow.
Fix it: Sage Accounting automates invoicing and reminders, helping you get paid faster and stay consistent.
Funders want to see a clear picture of where your money comes from and where it goes. Spreadsheets and paper receipts won’t cut it.
Fix it: With Sage, your transactions, expenses, and bank feeds are automatically tracked and organised in one place.
- Mixing Business and Personal Finances
This is one of the biggest red flags for funders. It blurs financial clarity and creates tax complications.
Fix it: Use Sage Accounting to keep business and personal accounts separate and generate accurate, audit-ready reports.
Why It Matters for Funding
Lenders and investors don’t just want to see that you’re making money; they want to see how you manage it.
Clean, consistent cash flow statements show funders that your business is reliable and funding-ready.
