A 13-week cash forecast tells you which Friday the wages, the rent and the tax bill land in the same week.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set it up once: money expected in, money going out and the balance at the end of each week. Put late payers in the week they really pay, not the week the invoice says.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then spend thirty minutes on it every Monday. Roll the oldest week off, add a new one at the end, and look at the lowest balance in the quarter. If it worries you, you still have weeks to act.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thirteen weekly columns show the tight weeks before they arrive (sample).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cash"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":67,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43\/revisions\/67"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
