WATCH OUT FOR “OVER-TRADING” AS WELL AS “OVER-EATING” AT CHRISTMAS!

April 9, 2019

Did you know that over-eating Christmas lunch can add up to well over 6,000 calories… at least you can work this off with a brisk walk (about 12 hours at 6mph!) But over-trading can be permanently disastrous for your business. Over-trading is where a business takes on too many orders, which despite being profitable, the business just hasn’t got the Working Capital to finance. What is working capital?
