Animeat is a company that sells food for exotic animals in the UAE. Business is going well but they predict they will have some cash flow problems five months from now. What type of finance do you recommend? Explain your recommendation

Animeat should access a flexible line of credit.

Explanation:

While it is common knowledge that businesses including those that are profitable would at one time or another have cash flow problems, yet it is pertinent for business owners and managers to always plan ahead against lack or shortage of cash flow as such could lead to total collapse of the business or customers/suppliers loss.

With regard to the above scenario, I would suggest Animeat access a flexible line of credit like invoice finance, overdraft facilities or short term business loan etc, inorder to meet up with it's food supply when the time comes. This would give the business quick access to funds/cash hence cushion the effect of cash flow problem during the predicted time.

The most important source of finance is to find the one that suit the business need and in which interest payment will be seamless so that available cash will not be depleted.
