Feeling Cash-Poor When You’re Earning Well?

Many founders confuse sales with cash flow. You can have healthy revenue and still struggle to pay yourself. A three-minute check-in can change that.

Step 1 — Know What’s Truly Free

Look at your account balance. Now subtract what you owe in VAT, tax, and future bills. The leftover is your real working capital — not the full figure on screen.

Step 2 — Spot the Leaks

Check the last three months for patterns. Do payments cluster at month-end? Are suppliers draining cash before clients pay?
Identifying these rhythms helps you plan, not panic.

Step 3 — Automate the Fix

With Money Squirrel, you can automatically route every incoming pound into pots — VAT, Corporation Tax, profit, and buffer. No manual maths, no Sunday-night spreadsheet sessions.

A three-minute habit that brings long-term calm.
