Working capital planning for Randburg chartered accountant (sa) 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.

@hanlis_potch 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.

@zelda_grobler 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 @hanlis_potch and @zelda_grobler. Negotiating a 30% upfront deposit on custom orders in Randburg also reduces the funding gap dramatically.

@hanlis_potch and @zelda_grobler count us in from the Randburg side as well, happy to share our supplier checklist with anyone in the group.
