Cashflow management can be stressful

Having a strategic focus on your cashflow is essential for business success. By effectively managing and optimising your cashflow, you can ensure that resources are allocated to the right areas, enabling growth and operational efficiency.

This approach not only supports informed decision-making but also significantly reduces financial stress, allowing you to focus on scaling your business with confidence. A solid cashflow strategy is key to long-term stability and success.

Does your business know it’s real costs?

Many businesses are unaware of their true costs until they conduct a thorough financial assessment. At Dimarx Consulting, we help businesses uncover their real costs by providing in-depth analysis of manufacturing expenses, overhead recovery, transport, promotional support, direct labour, and other variable costs.

By understanding these key factors, businesses can make informed decisions, improve profitability, and optimise their operations for long-term success. Let Dimarx assist in identifying your true costs and unlocking greater financial clarity.

Steps to help transition from Small to Medium

One of the key steps in transitioning from a small to medium enterprise is establishing repeatability. This can be achieved through the careful documentation of your processes and procedures, ensuring consistency and efficiency as your business grows.

By creating a structured framework for daily operations, businesses can scale effectively, improve productivity, and maintain quality standards. Let Dimarx Consulting guide you in building repeatable systems that support sustainable growth.

How we do things

Regularly reviewing business processes is crucial for maintaining efficiency and improving cashflow. Streamlining workflows, eliminating bottlenecks, and automating tasks can reduce operational costs and improve productivity. By identifying areas for improvement, businesses can optimise resource use, leading to lower expenses and improved cashflow.

At Dimarx Consulting, we help businesses conduct thorough process reviews to ensure they operate efficiently, allowing them to save money, improve cashflow, and drive long-term success.

New Markets / New Products

Expanding sales is essential for business growth, and there are several strategies to achieve this. Entering new markets and introducing new products can significantly increase revenue streams and customer reach.

Effective advertising and promotions also play a key role in attracting new customers and boosting sales. By combining market expansion, product development, and targeted marketing efforts, businesses can achieve sustainable growth.

At Dimarx Consulting, we specialise in helping businesses develop comprehensive sales strategies, including exploring new markets, launching new products, and crafting effective advertising and promotional campaigns to drive revenue.

Supply agreements that work for your organisation

In my experience, making supply agreements work effectively for your organisation is key to optimising cashflow and maintaining efficiency. By negotiating terms such as consignment stock, holding inventory, and reducing lead times, you can ensure a smoother supply chain that meets your needs without overburdening your resources.

Just-in-time (JIT) inventory management is another powerful strategy that helps reduce excess stock while keeping operations running seamlessly. Securing extended payment terms with suppliers can also give your organisation more flexibility with cashflow. I’ve seen how these strategies can create win-win agreements that support long-term success.

Are you financing your customers?

Allowing customers to go outside of payment terms can strain your business’s cashflow and disrupt operations. However, by proactively renegotiating payment terms, you can find solutions that benefit both parties.

Offering flexible terms, such as early payment discounts or staggered payment options, encourages timely payments while maintaining positive customer relationships. Renegotiating terms can also help stabilise cashflow by aligning payment schedules with your business needs.

At Dimarx Consulting, we help businesses find the right balance between customer satisfaction and cashflow optimisation, ensuring financial stability while fostering strong client partnerships.

Is stock a major issue in your business?

In my experience, managing inventory effectively can have a significant impact on cashflow. By implementing Just-in-Time (JIT) inventory management, you can minimise excess stock, freeing up cash that would otherwise be tied up in inventory.

Additionally, leveraging buying power by purchasing in bulk allows you to reduce the cost of goods sold (COGS), Sea-freight, instead of Airfreight… 

These strategies not only reduce expenses but also improve cashflow, ensuring your business has the resources it needs to grow. Managing inventory efficiently is key to optimising cashflow and maintaining a lean, cost-effective operation.

Know when cash is required

Planning your cashflow effectively is key to unlocking new opportunities for your business. When you have a clear strategy in place for managing cashflow, you can confidently invest in growth areas like marketing, inventory, or expansion. Proper cashflow planning helps you avoid financial shortfalls, handle unexpected expenses, and take advantage of opportunities as they arise. 

We work with your business to develop customised cashflow strategies that ensure stability and allows you to pursue new opportunities that drive success and long-term growth.

Adjusting your goals is crucial

Adjusting your business goals to reflect current market conditions is essential for maintaining relevance and competitiveness. As markets evolve, factors like customer preferences, economic trends, and technological advancements can impact your original objectives.

By regularly reassessing and adapting your goals, you can align your strategy with the realities of the market, allowing for more agile decision-making and the ability to seize new opportunities. This flexibility not only helps your business stay on track but also ensures long-term growth and sustainability in a dynamic environment.

Where do you make your money?

Diversifying your holdings and balancing infrastructure assets (capital) with operational profit is essential for optimising your business’s financial health.

Many businesses make their money through a combination of capital investments in infrastructure, such as owning their premises, and the profitability of day-to-day operations. Striking the right balance between these two can unlock working capital and improve cashflow management.

For businesses that own their premises, leveraging those assets can free up funds for reinvestment in growth opportunities. At Dimarx Consulting, we specialise in helping businesses achieve this balance, ensuring a stable cashflow while maximising both capital assets and operational profits.

Having the right staff

Having the right staff in place is essential for driving business efficiency, maximising procurement, and making strong, informed decisions. Skilled employees can streamline processes, reduce waste, and optimise operations, leading to increased productivity and cost savings. Additionally, experienced staff members play a key role in procurement, ensuring the best value for goods and services while negotiating favourable terms.

At Dimarx Consulting, we understand the importance of building a strong team, and we help businesses develop the right strategies to attract, retain, and empower the talent needed to achieve operational excellence and long-term success.

A review every 3 months is recommended, to ensure you still have time to react before the end of the financial year.  Q1, Q2, Q3 

Ownership of the plan

When a team is actively involved in the planning process, they gain a true sense of ownership over the plan’s outcomes. Engaging team members early in the development of a strategic plan fosters commitment, accountability, and motivation to see the plan succeed.

At Dimarx, we believe that collaboration leads to stronger, more effective execution. By involving your team in the process, we ensure that everyone is aligned with the goals and fully invested in bringing the vision to life. This sense of ownership empowers the team to take initiative and work together to achieve shared objectives.

Robust discussions that result in a shared vision

Successful businesses are built on a shared vision, but getting there often requires robust discussions among owners and board members. While differing perspectives can create challenges, finding common ground is key to driving the organisation forward.

At Dimarx, we help facilitate these discussions, guiding owners and board members to align on a clear and unified vision for the future. Once established, we work with you to ensure that this vision is effectively communicated to management and supported by the right resources for successful execution.

Dimarx can help you navigate this journey, ensuring all voices are heard and your business stays on track for success.

Establishing a project budget

Establishing a project budget is crucial for keeping any project on track and within financial constraints. A well-planned budget outlines the costs associated with each project phase, helping allocate resources effectively and setting clear expectations for stakeholders. Beyond initial setup, ongoing monitoring is essential to ensure that actual spending aligns with projections, allowing for quick adjustments if costs begin to escalate.

Dimarx Consultants can support you through every step of this process—from developing an accurate budget that considers all project variables to providing ongoing oversight. Our team brings expertise in tracking and reporting, ensuring transparency and mitigating risks before they impact project timelines or finances. By partnering with Dimarx, you gain the confidence of knowing your project is backed by proactive management, ensuring its success and safeguarding your investment.

Forecast / Review / Forecast / Review …

Business forecasting outside of standard budget periods is a vital practice for adapting to market changes and seizing new opportunities. This approach involves regularly projecting financial performance, market trends, and operational demands beyond the typical budgeting cycle, offering a more agile view of the business’s trajectory. 

Ultimately, maintaining this forward-looking approach outside of budget cycles helps keep the organisation responsive, competitive, and well-positioned to adapt in a dynamic environment.
