• A business run by a woman can fail just as much as a business run by a man when cashflows are mismanaged.
Problems arising from mismanagement of funds are not gender biased so a woman needs to be on top of her game just as much as any of her male counterparts.
• Women in business often face peculiar situations and even social pressures which make them especially vulnerable to poor cashflow management and its consequences.
This ranges from the more sublime (need to care for a sick relative from business proceeds to the mundane (aso-ebi for a big social event).
• It is important for women to understand the impact of cashflow cycle (deficits and surpluses) on their business and to know how to manage this cycle effectively.
