Ever feel like your till’s ringing, but your bank balance is whispering “not this month”? I’m Catherine Erdly, and this episode of the Resilient Retail Game Plan gets painfully real about the truth behind cash flow for retailers. If you’ve ever panicked at 3am, wondering how to pay that looming supplier invoice, you’re not alone. I break down my “SHOPS” framework; Sales, Having It Mapped Out, Overheads, Profit, Stock. Turning the messy, anxiety-inducing side of product business finance into a clear action plan. This is practical product business advice forged from 25 years on the retail shop floor and in boardrooms.
