Opens up questions for sure.
The reason? I think the topic of conversation at the start of the day could well be valid. If there is more work to be done, having a sole "worker" so remote is an issue.
If they are invoicing, invoice factoring or invoice financing would take care of the cashflow aspect, albeit with a percentage cost to bottom line. I suggested this to IF quite a while ago, and he thanked me for the "helpful suggestion". Also, the manufacturer, and/or DSM, could also assist with a deferred invoice payment scheme. In the industry I operate in, it is fairly common to get 90 days credit, and up to 180 days is not at all unusual.
I think what I am saying is that growth doesn't HAVE to be cashflow negative, although I recognise that it is a factor we can't ignore.
