Not seeing as many customers or sales as you used to? This is a warning sign your business could be in financial trouble.

The cost of living crisis is playing havoc on small business’s sales. Particularly businesses offering discretionary items, with customers now spending less or sometimes not at all.

If your small business’s cash flow is starting to feel the strain, don’t ignore it, explore your financial options with the Small Business Financial Counselling Service (SBFCS). Get free and confidential planning support to help improve your business’s financial situation and get things back under control.

Their Small Business Financial Counsellors can help you:

• do a financial health check for your business

• support you to negotiate with your bank or other creditors
• put a plan in place to manage the debt and get your finances back on track. For more information visit the SBFCS Southern Queensland website: www.sbfcssq.org.au/warning
