Overview
Small-business owners, by and large, know the importance of cash-flow forecasting. But there’s a surprising disconnect between their perception of its value and the actual practice of accurately and efficiently forecasting their cash position. More than half of businesses still handle cash-flow forecasting tasks manually, with pen and paper or Excel spreadsheets. Banks are in an ideal position to offer cash-flow tools to their business clients. Cash flow represents an unparalleled opportunity for banks seeking to cultivate more meaningful daily connections with their small-business clients.
