Paris, 27 November 2020.2021
For any company, cash flow is the sinews of war. Often abandoned in favour of Ebitda, cash management becomes once again the management tool in this particular period.
Even if the deferment of repayment of the state-guaranteed loan (PGE) has been extended to two years, companies risk being "short of cash to ensure the smooth running of the business" warns Ana Boata, director of macroeconomic research at Euler Hermes.
Moreover, she estimates that in France, "one company out of four could be in a cash crisis situation" from the beginning of 2021.
But can the risk of failure really be avoided?
To protect themselves from this risk, companies must put cash at the centre of their concerns and make their teams aware of the cash culture. Both small and large companies, few of them considered cash as a priority before the crisis. Every euro spent must now be taken into account. Every day's working capital requirements must also be taken into account.
