During a period of difficulty with cash flow caused mainly by staff exceeding their authority on expenses, Alba Cleaning Services Ltd found themselves under pressure from their banking partners who were insisting that they reduce their overdraft immediately by a significant sum. In need of help, they contacted Venture Taranaki who suggested they meet with a Business Mentors New Zealand business mentor.

Business mentor Mr Jeff Major visited the offices of Alba Cleaning Services and worked with the business owners in restoring cash flow control and relations with the bank.

He assisted in putting employment contracts in place with staff which helped control expenses and reduce the wage bill. With his previous experience he guided Alba Cleaning Services through negotiations with creditors so that their accounts were satisfied on a drip feed basis. This freed them up to satisfy their banks requirements.

Monthly profit and loss reports and cash flow forecasts are now in place to ensure cash flow difficulties don’t arise again and the owners are following a business plan as they continue to grow the business.
