Why growth drains cash
More sales mean more stock to buy and more invoices to wait on before the money lands — the classic "growing broke" trap. It is a working-capital problem, not a profit problem.
How to fund it
A working-capital facility funds the widening gap so you can keep taking orders and hiring. Size it to your affordability, and pair it with tighter collection to shorten the cycle.

Frequently asked questions
Why does growth cause cash problems?
Because you fund more stock and wait on more invoices before the cash returns. Rapid growth widens that gap, so a profitable, expanding business can still run short of cash.
Should I slow growth to protect cash?
Not necessarily. Funding the working-capital gap lets you keep growing without stalling. The key is that the growth is real and the finance is affordable.
