“Never take your eyes off the cash flow, because it’s the life blood of business.” -Richard Branson

Cash flow is the money that flows into and out of your business. It represents the money you collect from sales and the money you pay out to vendors and suppliers.

You know cash is flowing in and out of the business all the time, but understanding how it works and predicting what it will be can seem difficult or impossible.
