Managing cash flow: Your guide to financial resilience as a small business owner in Canada
Canadian small businesses can build cash flow resilience with these 6 proven steps, even amid economic shifts.
Cash flow tracking reveals patterns for proactive adjustments—review inflows (sales, receivables) vs outflows (payroll, rent, suppliers) weekly/monthly.

Adopt digital tools: Automate invoicing/expenses/payroll/HR for visibility and efficiency.
