The basics

Liquidity is the foundation of a company's success. The ability to meet short-term obligations, cover unexpected costs, and make investments relies on detailed liquidity and financing planning. A well-planned operating loan or a structured financing strategy provides security and flexibility.

Key aspects:

Securing liquidity

Stable liquidity makes it possible to maintain operational activities without interruption.

Financing planning

Long-term investments and resources should be financed optimally.

Maintain flexibility

Liquidity buffer and appropriate loan solutions provide resilience in times of crisis.

How to proceed

1

Analysis of current liquidity

  • Assess the cash flow of your business.

  • Determine fluctuations and potential bottlenecks.

2

Optimize operating loan

  • Ensure that the existing operating loan is sufficient to cover seasonal fluctuations or unforeseen events.

  • Negotiate the terms of your loan to lower costs.

3

Plan investment financing

  • Assess planned investments for 2025 and check whether you want to finance them using equity, investment loans, or leasing.

  • Calculate the profitability and amortization of planned investments.

4

Create a liquidity buffer

  • Hold enough reserves to cover your fixed costs for at least three to six months.

  • Establish liquidity management that steers your assets effectively.

5

Regular monitoring

  • Monitor your liquidity and financing strategy continuously to react flexibly to market shifts.

A business loan is used to cover short-term liquidity bottlenecks, for instance to pre-finance deliveries or salaries.

We recommend reserves for at least three to six months' worth of fixed costs.

Leasing is a good option when making investments in systems or machinery that have a long service life and that do not require any high one-time capital expenditures.

In negotiations with your bank or switching to a less expensive provider, you can reduce interest and fees.

We analyze your liquidity, optimize existing loans, and develop tailor-made financing strategies that suit your business.
