Growth is killing your cash

Crescere ammazza la cassa · Finance · Advanced

The case

Your custom furniture company grows 40% a year, but the more you grow the more cash suffers: you pay materials upfront, collect at 60-90 days after completion, and every new order advances costs for months. The bank has already granted maximum credit. You have a year of orders but risk not getting there. What do you do?

La tua azienda di arredi su misura cresce del 40% l'anno, ma più cresci più la cassa soffre: paghi i materiali subito, incassi a 60-90 giorni a lavoro finito e ogni nuova commessa anticipa costi per mesi. La banca ha già concesso il massimo fido. Hai ordini per un anno ma rischi di non arrivarci. Cosa fai?
