The #1 reason businesses generating $1M-$10M fail (how to avoid it)

Congratulations on building a business that’s generating between $1M-$10M in annual revenue. You’ve beaten some incredible odds to get here.

But I have to ask - how much of that revenue are you actually keeping? Because while top-line growth is exciting, it’s bottom-line profitability that really matters.

And the harsh truth is, many businesses in your revenue range are just one cash flow mishap away from disaster. In fact, cash flow shortages are the number one reason growing businesses fail.

Why? Because as you scale, expenses often outpace revenue. You're hiring more staff, investing in growth, and dealing with larger overhead - all before you collect on your receivables. It's a dangerous cycle that can quickly drain your cash reserves and put your business at risk.

But it doesn't have to be this way. With the right financial strategy and systems in place, you can keep your cash flowing and your profits growing, no matter how fast you scale.

You’re likely at the point where it makes the most sense to outsource your cash flow management to experts.

Financial strategists who have encountered hundreds, if not thousands, of cash flow quandaries and developed solutions to put entrepreneurs consistently ahead.

Right now, your team should be providing:

  • Proactive cash flow management to ensure you always have the resources you need

  • Customized strategies to optimize net worth growth

  • Cost allocation and unit economics analysis to guide smart investments

  • Full-service accounting and bookkeeping to give you total financial certainty

Take a minute to think about your company and your financial team. If you’re a business bringing in $1M-$10M/yr - you should not be doing these things by yourself.

So, if you’re 100% confident that your team has the financial elements on lock and you are bringing home every single dollar you’re entitled to - that is incredible.

But, if you have any concerns or questions about whether you’re following the right financial strategy for your business, I invite you to book a call with our team.
