However, the reality is different. * Profits are in the black * Busyness increases * But cash on hand does not increase If this situation is left unaddressed, no matter how much sales grow, you will create a “company that cannot become rich in cash.” It is not uncommon for companies to find their cash flow becoming tighter as sales grow. In this seminar, we will reveal concrete financial strategies to transform your company into one that can “retain” cash. ● **What are the financial strategies to increase cash while maintaining sales?** The biggest reason for not having more cash on hand is “financial design errors.” In fact, there are cases where companies that adopted this method significantly increased cash without changing sales. Conversely, by optimizing the financial structure, there is a possibility to maximize the cash remaining on hand even with the same sales. **Improvement Results of Adopting Companies (6-month course)*** * **Beauty Product Sales Business (Annual sales 50 million yen)** Optimization of travel expense regulations for financial improvement → Cash +4 million yen * **Web Marketing Business (Annual sales 100 million yen)** Optimization of travel expense regulations for financial improvement → Cash +6 million yen Optimization of executive compensation and bonuses → Cash +2 million yen * **Sake Sales Business (Annual sales 300 million yen)** Optimization of travel expense regulations for financial improvement → Cash +6 million yen Optimization of executive compensation and bonuses → Cash +4 million yen * **Electrical Construction Business (Annual sales 500 million yen)** Optimization of travel expense regulations for financial improvement → Cash +6 million yen Optimization of executive compensation and bonuses → Cash +6 million yen * **Logistics Business (Annual sales 800 million yen)** Optimization of travel expense regulations for financial improvement → Cash +10 million yen Optimization of executive compensation and bonuses → Cash +6 million yen *These are merely our company's achievements and do not guarantee results. **** ★ **Fundamental differences between management and finance** * Why is there a profit, but not enough cash? * The mechanism behind profitable companies running out of cash * Differences between management and finance ★ **Pitfalls where money doesn't remain** * How to “read” numbers without leaving it to a tax accountant * Criteria for investment, borrowing, and cash flow decisions * Limitations of self-taught cash flow management * The golden rule of finance to “retain” money **** * SME business owners with annual sales of 50 million yen or more * Business owners troubled by “no money remaining” despite profits * Those who feel “not in control of their lives” due to busyness * Those who recognize they have “not learned” about tax saving, finance, and investment ● **From sales-driven management to future-creating management through finance** If you are constantly thinking, “I need to increase sales more…”, but your money and time are not increasing, then it’s time to change your management axis.
