Cash-flow review
We take three months of statements and mark each week where money in fell short of money out. You get the pattern, the causes and the dates.
We read the statements first. Then we write the plan.
We are a business solutions firm for established companies. We plan working capital, cash flow, equipment purchases and growth, and we handle funding readiness when a plan calls for capital. The work begins with three months of bank statements. It ends with a dated document that sets out each step, who carries it out and when.
Who we are
The plan is written, dated and sent to you before any step is taken.
We are a business solutions firm. Our clients are small and mid-sized companies with customers, payroll and a record behind them. We study how money arrives and leaves over a season, and we set out what the next hire, purchase or expansion needs before it goes ahead.
Some plans call for capital the company does not hold. In that case we put the records in order and introduce the company to one or more third-party funding sources. The capital is not ours, and the terms are not ours to set. Any offer comes from the provider, and the company decides whether to take it.
Services
Working-capital planning
We measure the gap between the day you pay suppliers and the day customers pay you, then set a reserve to carry the company through the slow weeks.
Growth and expansion planning
A bigger crew, a second shop, a new line of work. We list what each needs in cash and in time, and the order in which to take them on.
Equipment and vendor strategy
We compare buying, leasing and renting for each piece of equipment, and we read supplier terms with you before you sign them.
Funding readiness
When a plan needs capital the company does not have, we put the records in order and make the introductions to third-party funding sources. Each provider sets its own terms.
Ongoing advisory
Once the plan is in place we review the figures with you on a fixed schedule, and we revise the plan when the company changes.
Why Ashcrest Solutions
We read before we advise
Nothing is recommended until we have read three months of your bank statements line by line.
Everything is written down
Each recommendation arrives as a dated document. You can hand it to your accountant or your partners as it stands.
The plan comes before the capital
We look for outside capital only when the written plan shows it is needed, and only after you ask us to.
Cost is agreed first
There is nothing to pay for getting in touch. Further work is priced on paper and agreed with you before it begins.
