According to a study performed by Jessie Hagen of U.S. Bank, 82% of businesses fail because of poor management of cash flow.

When a cash flow crunch strikes, your decision-making ability is further impacted by lack of resources and fear, and this can potentially impact three main areas of your business:

✔️ Pricing: You become hesitant to look at your pricing model or experiment with value pricing because you are too scared to lose business.

✔️ Hiring/Firing: You hold off on hiring or firing because cash is tight, but lack of proper staffing ultimately affects quality, timing, and customer service.

✔️ Spending: You don’t spend in places where you should spend because you feel like you can’t afford to. For example, you may not do a marketing campaign because you are too worried about the ROI.

If the thought of selling your LSP ever crossed your mind, you should know that your top-line number won't be the only factor determining the value of your business. A healthy composition of your client base is equally important to adding value and ensuring business stability and continuity in the eyes of a potential Buyer.

Do you know what's the ratio of direct corporate clients vs LSP/MLV clients in your portfolio? Is your business more attractive for Buyers when you work primarily for other language service providers, or if you serve mostly direct clients? 🤔

For translation companies in the growth phase, it is often difficult to turn away business from a large customer. However, client dependence carries substantial risks and those companies that are diversified are likely to achieve stronger financial performance.
