Why keeping track of your cash position is essential during the pandemic  \nKeeping track of your factory’s cash flow is always important as it enables you to track costs, avoid or reduce losses and as it can help you ensure that your factory is staying liquid and in turn will help you to increase your profitability. Your cash flow is what determines the amount of money you have available to spend at a given time.  \nDuring the COVID-19 crisis, it is especially important for factories to consider their cash flow. Many factories that go out of business often fail because they do not have enough cash to pay for their expenses. Having a good understanding of your current and future cash flow can help your factory survive COVID-19 and will also make it easier to resume operations eventually.  \nUnderstanding your cash flow is the starting point for responsibly managing your factory’s finances during the COVID-19 crisis as well as in the longer term. It can give you a warning in advance about future cash shortages and it helps you to take timely measures to act in advance before you face a cash-out / burn situation.  \n2. Understanding cash flow  \nCash flow is the amount of cash that is being transferred into and out of your factory. If more money is coming in than what is going out, your factory has a ‘positive cash flow’. To the contrary, if your factory spends more money than what is coming in, your factory will have a ‘negative cash flow’.  \nYou should always aim to have a positive cash flow to be able to pay for your factory’s expenses. Sometimes a profitable factory can have a negative cash flow, for example if it spends a lot of money buying materials or inventory. While the materials are worth a lot of money, unless they generate money quickly, profits are tied up and the factory might have a negative cash flow until the inventory is used to produce garments, ship / deliver them to your buyer and receive the sales proceeds once again. It is required that you seek ways to reduce your working capital cycle.  \nTo calculate your cash flow, you need to summarize your factory’s:  \n􀁘 Cash flow-in: All the money generated by your factory, including from sales, bank loans and other sources of income (e.g. sub-contracting orders or parts thereof (if allowed), sales of excess trims, sale of second grade garments) and bank loans.  \n􀁘 Cash flow-out: All the money that your factory spends on fixed and variable costs, such as materials, wages, utilities and other expenses.  \nManaging your cash flow involves observing your factory’s cash history to analyse any patterns and to better understand your cash flow-in and your cash flow-out. A cash flow statement allows you to summarize your past cash flow for this purpose. In order to estimate your future cash flow, you can prepare a cash flow forecast. This involves estimating your future expenses, including labour, material and overhead costs, to see how much cash you need to pay your bills. In addition, you need to estimate your cash flow-in during the same period. By comparing the numbers, you will know if you have enough cash to cover for your bills in the coming months, or if you need to try to find alternative sources of income, subsidies or short to medium term borrowings.  \n3.
