COMPANY CHALLENGES
Because of the financial crisis, this company experienced hangover effects, including an increase in delayed payments from General Contractors, a lack of working capital to buy supplies and pay vendors, missed bid opportunities and more. The growth was outpacing cash flow and larger payroll commitments weren’t met, increasing the company’s number of unpaid invoices.
