Rodman & Rodman, P.C. Shares Cash Flow Tips in a Bad Economy

Statistics show that in a good economy, approximately one third of all small businesses do not survive their first year of business. Approximately two-thirds do not survive year three. The primary reason a business fails is poor financial management, which in many cases is preventable.

So how can a small business survive in a bad economy?

Larry Rice, CPA, Director of Strategic Consulting of Rodman & Rodman, P.C., Certified Public Accountants and business strategists catering to small and medium sized companies throughout New England, outlines critical cash flow tips for small business owners to help them weather a bad economy and beyond.

Create a cash flow projection or plan. Every small business should measure projected cash flow one year forward. That projection should be updated on a quarterly basis. A good cash flow projection starts with a good sales projection. Use historical data and be sure to consider any changes in your environment such as competition, economic change, etc. Once you have that sales projection, then it is a matter of translating those sales into the time frames that you get paid for those sales. When you place the payment for those expenses along side the receipt of revenues, you’ve created a cash flow projection.

Plan appropriately for capital expenditures. Due to an aversion of debt, many business owners pay cash for significant corporate assets. This can lead to a cash flow disaster. A good rule of thumb is that all long term assets should be financed over the expected life of those assets. If you are going to buy a machine that will last 10 years, you should seek to finance it over those 10 years. The idea is to match the outflows (the payment for the assets) to the time you expect to generate inflows (sales) from the use of that asset.

Better your credit management. Eager to make any sales, some owners do not have strong credit policies. The worst of all cash flow problems is to expend all the resources to make a product or provide a service, and then not get paid for it. Small business can not be too eager to have just any customers; they need to have the right customers. Go after the customers you want, not the customers who will waste your energy as you chase them to get paid.

Manage suppliers. Small business often pays its bills at designated times, which often are too early. Sometimes this is for convenience but can be dangerous to cash flow. Bills should be
paid timely to maintain good customer relations, but as close to the due date as possible. Seek opportunities for taking the better discounts for prompt payment from suppliers.

Manage inventory. Sometimes owners do not want to rid themselves of stale inventory at a discount, hoping that some customer will appear to pay full price. Sometimes the best course is to get rid of the inventory and use the cash for other more practical purposes.

Maintain a good relationship with a bank/lending officer. Not all credit decisions are objective. By maintaining positive communications, sometimes credit which might not be available can be secured when you maintain an open dialogue

According to Rice, “The most important financial statement is not the Balance Sheet or Profit and Loss; it is the Cash Flow Statement. Only the cash flow statement tells you how much cash your business is generating from operations. A very profitable company can still fail if the cash flow isn’t there to sustain that profit. Bottom line: more businesses fail because of poor cash flow than poor profit. Good cash flow planning is the key to small business success in any economy.”

Where it’s easy buying green…DirectBuy provides one-stop shopping solution for green building materials and appliances.

GURNEE, HOFFMAN ESTATES, NAPERVILLE, TINLEY PARK, IL …

There’s a misconception among many consumers that buying “green” refers strictly to products made of natural materials. While that’s part of the equation, there’s much more to it. Like appliances and lighting that last longer and use less power to run. Or plumbing that requires less water. At the four DirectBuy showrooms of greater Chicago, members not only have the opportunity to purchase the full spectrum of green products under one roof, but they also can save some “green” buy paying manufacturer-direct prices.

Some of the “green” products available to DirectBuy members include:

●        Faucets and plumbing fixtures that offer low consumption

●        Natural cork flooring and underlayments

●        Flooring made of renewable natural bamboo

●        Lighting and ceiling fans with Energy Star ratings

●        Energy Star compliant kitchen appliances, washers and dryers

●        Cabinets treated with low-voc, LEED-compliant stains

●        Bedroom, dining room, living furniture manufactured by members of the Sustainable Furniture Council; many of these pieces are made from natural fibres, use eco-friendly foam and contain organic, halogen-free fire retardants.

“Consumers are always being encouraged to make ‘greener’ purchases, but there’s no real road map as to where to make these purchases and whether or not what they do buy is green,” said Dave Kushman, owner of DirectBuy of Hoffman Estates. “The green products our members can buy through DirectBuy have been rated by recognized ‘green’ authorities like Energy Star, LEED or the Sustainable Furniture Council so you know the green purchase you’re making is part of the solution.”

Energy Star ratings refer to the U.S.-government backed program ranking the energy efficiency of products. LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is voluntary green building rating system, which is a consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance sustainable buildings. The Sustainable Furniture Council is a non-profit balanced coalition of manufacturers, retailers and consumers offering a public tagging program to identify good “green” choices.

“We all know we should be making greener purchases, particularly when it comes to products we use in our everyday lives like lighting and appliances. Unfortunately, making those wiser choices can be quite costly. By making all these green options available at DirectBuy, we give our members the choice to save money and valuable natural resources,” said Kushman.

Since 1971, DirectBuy franchises have offered members the opportunity to enjoy enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and outdoor products and accessories by buying wholesale, directly from the manufacturer. With four convenient locations in the greater Chicago area (Gurnee, Hoffman Estates, Naperville, and Tinley Park), consumers can enjoy a comfortable, country-club setting, where they finally have the financial control of buying direct.

Dave Austin of Lift & Care Systems honored with Steven A. Hook Memorial Award at the 22nd Annual Rhode Island Independent Living Conference.

DATELINE:  LAKEVILLE, MA…
Dave Austin, Founder and President of Lift & Care Systems, Inc. in Lakeville, MA was recently honored at the 22nd annual Rhode Island Independent Living Conference in Providence, RI, where he received the Steven A. Hook Memorial Award. The award is presented annually to the person whose professional contributions exemplify Steven Hook’s dedication to individuals with disabilities.

The theme of the conference: Live Your Best Life At Home, Work and Play, could well serve as the motto of Lift & Care Systems, where Austin’s goal is to enable the highest quality of life for persons with disabilities, helping them maintain dignity, freedom, and independence wherever possible.

Almost 16 years ago, when Austin set out to explore the market for SureHands ceiling mounted lifts, what he found was an amazing community of persons with mobility problems who had varying levels of needs. Austin quickly learned that compassion, ingenuity, and a flair for innovative construction techniques were necessary to devise customized solutions for his new clients. Over the years, Lift & Care’s product line has expanded, along with Austin’s first-hand knowledge of the needs, wants, and likes of the people he serves, as well as their families and caregivers.

Austin notes, “What has impressed me most about the families and caregivers that we meet is their optimism and determination to help their loved ones or clients. It’s heartwarming and joyous to see the better side of people and to really make a difference in people’s lives, which is why it’s a very special honor to receive this award.”

Independent living with peer support is the goal of the Independent Living Conference: learning how to live life to the fullest possible extent with a disability. The entire community benefits from accessibility and persons with disabilities demonstrate that when given the opportunity they can and do succeed. The conference is sponsored by PARI Independent Living Center, Office of Rehabilitation Services, OSCIL (Ocean State Center for Independent Living), National Multiple Sclerosis Society – Rhode Island Chapter, Rhode Island Rehabilitation Association, Rhode Island Statewide Independent Living Council, The Corliss Institute, Inc. Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island, and the Rhode Island Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

SureHands Lift Systems
The SureHands system of ceiling mounted lifts enables thousands of users with disabilities to have easier access to the basics of bed, bath, or toilet. It is also amazingly able to assist persons with disabilities with everyday tasks such as changing clothes, standing and ambulating, or even taking a swim or mounting a horse.

SureHands patient lift systems are so remarkable that they have been featured on two episodes of ABC-TV’s “Extreme Makeover:  Home Edition.” During these episodes a SureHands lift & care system was installed to help make a home ADA compliant and enable the resident to transfer and accomplish his normal activities for daily living. This multi-directional SureHands system was mounted to the ceiling connecting the bedroom to the bath, allowing the resident greater mobility, free of floor based obstacles.

Lift & Care Systems, Inc.
Lift & Care Systems, Inc. is dedicated to bringing the highest quality of life to users and their caregivers by providing customized solutions that enhance users’ mobility. To achieve this goal, Lift & Care Systems offers a myriad of products, including: ceiling mounted motors and track lift systems, wall-to-wall lift systems, wheelchair-to-water pool lifts, and mobile lifts, as well as lift accessories such as body supports, a variety of slings in multiple styles, and a number of assisted body positioning tools such as frictionless slides and slide boards.

In addition, Lift & Care features curved or straight rail Bruno Stair Lifts for indoor or outdoor use, rust proof aluminum National Ramp systems, Power Access door openers, and a wide array of other solutions to meet the needs of their clients and caregivers.

“Go to your room!”…DirectBuy provides tips to designing the “perfect kid’s room.”

VANCOUVER, COQUITLAM, VICTORIA, AND OKANAGAN, BC…

While in the past, a parent yelling, “Go to your room!” may have been some sort of punishment, nowadays it could pass as a reward, depending on the design and furniture selection your child’s room. DirectBuy of Vancouver and DirectBuy of Greater Vancouver, the leading members-only showroom and home design centers, not only offer consumers a brand new way to save on home improvement projects, but also offers some helpful tips on designing the perfect kid’s room.

“A child’s bedroom serves as much more than a place for you kids to play. It’s a study, computer room, play room, game room, video/entertainment center and even a guest room,” said Jade Allen, owner of DirectBuy of Vancouver. “By following a few simple guidelines, you can create a room that’s comfortable for them to sleep and play in, but also maximizes the space.”

Some guidelines to follow include:

 

●        Involve your children in the buying of the furniture and decorating process; it’s their room, after all, and it stands to reason they will be more comfortable with items they helped select.

●        Take into account your child’s age, gender and how long the furniture will be used (e.g. bunk beds might be fun at 12, but at 16 your teenager might want some more space)

●        Only consider bedroom furniture that has quality construction and age-appropriate design. It is also a good idea to bring children along while shopping to make sure the bedding is comfortable.

●        Plan for growth – not just your child getting bigger but acquiring more things and clothing that will need to be stored.

Both DirectBuy of Vancouver and DirectBuy of Greater Vancouver carry a large selection of brand-name kids’ furniture at wholesale prices direct from the manufacturers and their authorized suppliers. In addition, DirectBuy employs product specialists and designers who can help parents and children select furniture and accessories to create the look you want for your child’s room.

“Sure, parents might lose a little leverage by sending a child to their room not being seen as a form of punishment,” laughs Allen. “The upside is that by creating a room that’s a haven for your child, they’ll be happier, which in turn makes parents happier. So everybody wins.”

Since 1971, DirectBuy franchises have offered members the opportunity to enjoy enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and outdoor products and accessories by buying wholesale, directly from the manufacturer. With four convenient locations in the greater Vancouver area (Victoria, Vancouver, Coquitlam, and Kelowna), consumers can enjoy a comfortable, country-club setting, where they finally have the financial control of buying direct.

The people who make it so easy to buy a car…Tracy Chevrolet-Cadillac hires Collins, Dwyer and Lee.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

Buying a car is not an easy process for many people. For starters, it’s a huge financial commitment and nobody wants to make a decision they’ll later regret. That’s why Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac hires sales consultants who not only have superior product knowledge and expertise but also share the dealership’s straightforward, easygoing approach with customers.

Recently, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac hired three members of its sales force to the title of Senior Sales Consultant: Harry Collins, Steve Dwyer and Gary Lee.

Harry Collins was hired in July as a sales consultant. He holds a bachelor’s of science degree in psychology from UMass-Boston and has more than eight years selling for General Motors dealerships. Collins resides in Abington with his wife Marlo and is active with Metro Boston Alive, a group that raise money to provide Christmas gifts for children.

Steve Dwyer was hired earlier this year as a sales consultant. A Plymouth resident, he has more than 30 years’ experience in sales, with nine years selling at General Motors dealerships.

Gary Lee was hired as finance manager earlier in 2008. He attended UMass Boston and has more than 13 years working for General Motors dealerships. Lee resides in Brockton with his wife Donna and their children Jasmine and Demall.

 “Harry, Steve and Gary possess all the key qualities we look for in our sales professionals. They have the knowledge of the automobiles we sell, which is key, but know how to develop a rapport with customers that puts them at ease, and that’s probably even more important. We’re pleased and proud to have these three individuals on board,” said Jeff Tracy, president of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac.

So easy at Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac

For more than 80 years and three generations of dealers, the Tracy family has made it so easy for customers on the South Shore and greater Plymouth area to purchase new and used automobiles. Since its beginnings in 1992, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac has emphasized first-rate customer service and straightforward, bottom-line pricing with fair trade-ins every time–without the games or gimmicks you find at other dealerships. For more information on new and used trucks and automobiles, you can go to www.tracymotors.com or stop by the dealership, conveniently located at 137 Samoset Street, just off exit 6 on Route 3. For more information, or to make a service appointment, you can also call (800) 640-2884.
