Have you modeled your cash position?

1. Cash is king: Do you know if you have enough? If you come up short, reach out to your bank to try and leverage your line of credit.
2. Do “zero-based budgeting.” Examine your entire P&L to determine what is essential vs. non-essential. Then look at headcount; who are your A-players? Do whatever you can to keep them, even if they aren’t productive right now. They are impossibly hard to find, so do whatever it takes.
3. And, if after you leverage your line of credit you still don’t have enough, check out:
