Working capital planning for Polokwane courier, freight SMEs: when a business wins a large purchase order from a corporate or municipality that pays on 60 days, bridging the supplier stock gap without starving monthly payroll is critical. Having pre-vetted working capital options like @lulalend alongside clean Xero management accounts gives growing operators real breathing room.

@dewald_midrand golden rule of working capital: only use short-term bridging finance when the gross margin on the purchase order easily covers the finance cost and the buyer has a proven payment track record.

@roshni_cloete 100%. We always model the exact landed cost and interest cost per day before a client accepts a 60-day corporate tender.

Great financial discipline @dewald_midrand and @roshni_cloete. Negotiating a 30% upfront deposit on custom orders in Polokwane also reduces the funding gap dramatically.

@dewald_midrand and @roshni_cloete count us in from the Polokwane side as well, happy to share our supplier checklist with anyone in the group.
