Overview
Cash-flow management is fundamental to running a business, providing visibility into how money flows in and out of a company and helping to ensure there is enough liquidity to meet obligations and invest in growth. For small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), proactive cash flow oversight is especially critical, as they often operate with tighter margins and less financial cushion. Incorporating predictive cash-flow tools into business planning enables SMBs to anticipate potential shortfalls, make informed decisions, and enhance their resilience in uncertain market conditions. Financial institutions, in turn, have an opportunity to deepen relationships with these clients by offering intuitive, value-added cash-flow forecasting solutions that support long-term business health.
