    Over the last few weeks, I have spent some time talking to retailers one-on-one about how they manage their cash flow in their business. And it has been absolutely fascinating

    If you are feeling like cash flow is a bit stressful I want to let you know that there is a way forward, it is possible to have a business where you can feel in control of your cash flow. I'm working on a new service that I will be launching later in the year.
