Overtrading occurs when a business expands its operations beyond the financial resources available, often leading to cash flow shortages. This situation arises when a company undertakes more business than its working capital can sustain, resulting in difficulties in meeting its financial obligations.
Key Benefits
– Awareness of Financial Health: Monitoring for overtrading helps identify when a business is expanding too quickly without sufficient working capital.
– Operational Focus: Helps management focus on sustainable growth strategies.
– Improved Liquidity Management: Encourages better cash flow planning and inventory control.
