Getting more cash into your business isn’t always about making more sales. Sometimes, it’s about making sure you actually get paid for the work you’ve already done.

Late payments can quickly put pressure on your cash flow, especially when you still have wages, suppliers, HMRC and other bills to pay.

There are practical steps you can take to improve the cash coming into your business and help you get paid on time.

If cash flow is becoming a concern and you’re not sure what to do next, TDH can help you understand your position and your next steps.

Cash flow can be a real challenge in the construction industry.

We speak to a lot of construction directors who are doing the work, winning projects and sending invoices, but still find themselves under pressure when it comes to having enough cash in the bank.

There are a few reasons for this. Projects can take weeks or months to complete, payments can be delayed, retention can hold up money that is owed, and costs for materials, labour and subcontractors often need to be paid before you've been paid yourself.

That can leave a business looking busy and profitable on paper, while still feeling the pressure of a tight cash position.

Keeping a close eye on when money is coming in and going out is essential. Prompt invoicing, clear payment terms and planning ahead can all help you stay ahead of potential cash flow problems.

If you're a construction director and you're concerned about your company's cash flow or financial position, we're here to talk.

Call The Directors Helpline on [0333 358 2451] or visit [https://www.thedirectorshelpline.org/] for free, confidential and independent guidance.

Getting the work done is only part of managing your cash flow.

If you’ve completed the work, don’t leave the invoice sitting in your system. Getting invoices out promptly and making sure payments come into the business on time can make a real difference to your cash position.

In this video, we look at why getting paid promptly matters, when deposits may be appropriate, and why it’s important to think carefully about how customer payments are handled.

Small changes to how you manage money coming into the business can have a big impact on your cash flow.

Profit and cash flow are not the same thing.

Your business can be making a profit on paper while still having very little cash available in the bank.

Profit shows what your business has earned after costs. Cash flow shows the money actually coming in and going out of your business.

Both matter, but they tell you different things about how your business is performing.

Understanding the difference can help you spot cash flow pressure before it becomes a bigger problem.
