It brief that the business would manage the cash position properly.
Critical decision:
On the basis of evaluation on the business plan and report, it has been found that the
cash position of the company was overdraft at initial stage but along with the time, it has been
improved and it lead to the business towards better performance. The cash level has been

improved because of the fact that an initial month, the company has invested huge amount in
the vehicle as well as the credit policies of the business are also not in the favor of the
business. The debtors are allowed to pay the amount after 30 days however the credit amount
is paid by the business instantly.
Recommendation:
Company is required to pay the entire amount to the creditors at the same time while
the debtors of the company pay the amount within 30 days due to which the business required
huge working capital to run the business. the business is suggested to take 30 days to pay the
credit amount to suppliers to manage the cash position of the company and the performance
of the business2. It would improve the cash position as well as it would reduce the
requirement of the working capital.
