Anticipating the Contingencies – part 1
No company can anticipate all contingencies with 100 percent accuracy. This is especially true for operations in start-up mode.
If the company pays cash for its inventory, it won’t be able to restock key products when it comes time. Too many businesses have backed themselves into this corner, suddenly finding themselves with all the wrong merchandise and empty spots on their shelves where their biggest sellers once were because they have run out of cash to pay for the restocking. The next thing to go will be customers and, eventually the business.
