Every order you make costs me money - paid for out of my pocket before I even invoice you. For some reason this year - December, Jan and early Feb (so far) have been really, really good. Heaps more orders than usual. That's awesome - except... I haven't had any cash coming in since December :S For some reason. this year - I've had heaps more work coming in than previous (which is fantastic and cashflow never really gets critical), but, for some reason - this year has hit the perfect storm eg - 20 orders went out today - each costs me $500 That's $10k I have already paid for and have to fund and cover until they pay me for the order. (there's no "pay later" option for the disbursements) I can handle that usually. But for the months between start of December to start of March? Usually, but this one has been busy - lots of orders, lots of disbursements. Sorry for the rant - but WPMOT - you asked 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to declare war on one of the other crews next move (it automatically puts the banks on hold) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
