Quick wins
Chase every overdue invoice today (see how to chase), pause discretionary spending, and ask suppliers for reasonable terms. These free cash immediately without changing the business.
Bridge the rest
For a genuine timing gap that quick wins do not close, a short facility or invoice finance releases cash fast and is repaid as income lands. For the lasting fix, shorten the cash conversion cycle.

Frequently asked questions
What is the single fastest cash-flow fix?
Collecting overdue invoices. It is money already earned, sitting outside the business. A focused chase can bring in cash within days without any change to the business.
Can finance improve cash flow immediately?
Yes, for a genuine timing gap. Invoice finance or a short facility releases cash quickly and is repaid as income arrives, bridging the gap while you fix the underlying cycle.
