5 Things To Do With Extra Cash Flow

When growing a business you can use all the extra cash you can get. So, saving anywhere you can is imperative. Securing your commercial space for a rent-free period will assist with this, and those savings will really make a difference. 

Focus on investing in growth in all areas of your business. Here are just a few investment ideas for all that extra cash.

1. Establish a cash buffer

This is a brilliant opportunity to set your business up for the future. Catastrophe happens, so be prepared for it.

Do some calculations for the costs that could be incurred by emergencies and put ample cash aside to cover them. It’s better to be prepared for any disasters, if you can be. 

It’s true that it won’t make the event any less catastrophic, but it will make it hurt your bank books a lot less. 

2. Eliminate debts

Who doesn’t have debt? It’s almost inevitable to have a laundry list of debts that you’re just waiting to pay off. 

Put those savings to good use. You’ll feel great when you get even a few of those pesky debts paid off. 

The upside of this is that any future excess cash can be invested in the remaining ventures on this list. 

Debt free, Stress free! 

 3. Make adjustments to your space

Covered unexpected emergencies and eliminated your debt? Congratulations! Now you can focus on improvements. 

You’ve secured the bricks and mortar, now make it your own. Invest in advancing the atmosphere and ambience of your space.

Splurge a little on comfort. Still using cheap or stone aged equipment? Now’s the time to change that. 

Upgrade any equipment that needs it. Aim for the best eco-friendly and ergonomic workspace you can create. Start with the technology and necessary work equipment then move on to creature comforts.

You could even beautify and improve workstations, the break room and shared quiet spaces. Make your office as pleasant as possible for your clients and team. 

4. Consider Investments

Growth is always the goal so grow that money. Don’t let it sit stagnant in a bank account making either little or no interest, make it work for you. Use the excess money to make even more money.

There are a range of investment options you can consider such as: 

• money markets;
• bonds or;
• the stock market. 

Do your research and choose the best option for your business and the amount of money you have available. 

5. Expand your business

Another option for those excess funds is to invest in expansion. Search for market gaps in your business’s fields of expertise and fill one.

Expand into new areas of the unknown. Fund training for new and existing team members to work in the additional sector. This will allow you to take on new clients or provide further services for existing clients. 

This in turn will boost your overall profits and brand awareness even further.
