Running a business in Zambia can be challenging — prices fluctuate, suppliers change rates, fuel costs rise, and customers often delay payments. That’s why cash flow is the true heartbeat of your business.
Even profitable businesses collapse when they run short of cash.
Here’s how you can keep your cash flow positive, strong, and stable — using Book Keeper Software.
✅ 1. Understand Cash Flow vs. Profit
Profit is what your books show.
Cash flow is what keeps your business alive.
You may be profitable but still run out of cash because of:
Supplier payments
Rent
Salaries
Fuel
Restocking
Book Keeper Solution:
✔ Cash flow report
✔ Expense tracking
✔ Daily cash position
You know exactly how much cash you actually have.
✅ 2. Don’t Let Customer Credit Kill Your Cash
Credit sales are common in Zambia — but they choke cash flow instantly.
Customers may delay payments for weeks.
Book Keeper Solution:
✔ Track credit customers
✔ Send reminders
✔ See who owes you and how much
✔ Stop giving credit blindly
Cash starts flowing again.
✅ 3. Plan Expenses Before Spending
Most businesses collapse because they spend before planning — not the other way around.
Book Keeper Solution:
✔ See upcoming payments
✔ Allocate cash properly
✔ Avoid sudden shortages
You plan smart, not emotionally.
✅ 4. Use Sales Data to Make Smarter Decisions
If you don’t know what sells, you’ll keep buying the wrong stock.
Dead stock = dead cash.
Book Keeper Solution:
✔ Fast-moving & slow-moving reports
✔ Item-wise profitability
✔ Stock aging report
You buy what brings cash back quickly.
✅ 5. Avoid Overstocking
Buying too much stock blocks your cash.
If it sits on the shelves, your money is trapped.
Book Keeper Solution:
✔ Real-time inventory levels
✔ Low-stock alerts
✔ Reorder suggestions
This helps you buy just the right amount.
✅ 6. Review Your Cash Flow Weekly
Even successful businesses make the mistake of “checking money later”.
Cash flow must be reviewed consistently.
Book Keeper makes this easy with:
✔ Weekly summaries
✔ Daily cash-in and cash-out
✔ Future cash forecast
You see cash problems before they become emergencies.
