Industrial Revolution

I bought a business on April 1, 2005. I'll update the blog a few times a week to share some of my experiences.

Cash is King

We shipped another enormous order today. I love watching those trucks pull away! However, although the business is very successful, I'm facing a serious short term problem. I'm almost out of cash. It happens that this coincides nicely with the first big batch of accounts receivable coming due. By the end of this week I should be out of the woods. However, it's not a certainty. There are more big cash outlays directly in front of me (payroll, deposits on future purchases, etc.) and most of our customers haven't figured out to send the checks to Industrial Revolution instead of UCO. It'll all get sorted out one way or another but I might end up loaning the company some money to make it through the short term. I'm also lobbying the bank to increase my line of credit. Fingers are crossed!
