Your biggest customer pays two weeks late.
Payroll still arrives on time.
So do rent, supplier bills, and any funding payment you agreed to.
Before pursuing capital, ask a question that deserves more attention:
Does the repayment plan depend on one customer doing everything exactly when expected?
Put that customer’s next payment on a different date in your cash forecast.
Then look at what happens.
Which obligations remain covered?
Which purchase would need to wait?
What conversation would need to happen sooner?
This is a planning exercise—not a prediction that the customer will fail you.
A strong relationship still deserves a backup plan.
If you’re exploring funding, bring the business need, expected customer payment dates, and existing obligations into the conversation.
