SMALL BUSINESS FINANCIAL CHALLENGES ARE MOUNTING
The latest Small Business Credit Report shows 94 percent of small businesses are reporting financial challenges. Issues are myriad, yet deep-seated.
> Cost Increases: 73 percent of firms say the increase in costs tied to goods, services, and wages is creating strain. Increases tied to tariffs were tallied separately, with 42 percent citing them.
> Operating Expenses: 54 percent say covering operating costs has become a challenge.
> Uneven Cash Flow: 50 percent indicate uneven cash flow is adding to their burden, a challenge that makes managing cash flow and covering expenses difficult.
> Credit Availability: 29 percent point to the availability of credit as an issue. Meanwhile, just 42 percent of those applying for financing receive all the funds needed.
“Pressure is being applied from all sides,” explains Armando Armendariz, Director of Business Development of Viva Capital. “Savvy small businesses are getting more creative in how they think about cash flow management and business financing.”
A COORDINATED APPROACH CAN ENHANCE CASH FLOW MANAGEMENT
While a single solution can work, Armendariz notes that businesses often benefit from adopting multiple tools to influence cash inflows and outflows simultaneously.
> Maximize Working Capital Availability: Extending supplier terms while accelerating receivables creates a wider window of available cash.
> Reduce Pressure on Obligations: Accelerating incoming cash keeps businesses current on payables, preventing late fees and strained relationships.
> Support Continuous Operations: Faster inflows and delayed outflows allow businesses to meet payroll, move inventory, and take on work uninterrupted.
“One of the ways we’re seeing businesses leverage this approach is by combining invoice factoring and trade credit,” Armendariz adds. “Whereas factoring accelerates inflows and can also support supplier payments, trade credit slows outflows and provides more breathing room.”
