Cash is the fuel that keeps a business running; if your startup runs out of cash, it will sputter awhile and then conk out. You can have a great product, a solid customer base, and all the right metrics — yet still run out of money if you don’t manage it well. There’s no getting around it: Startups have to spend money to make money. SaaS startups, specifically, have to increase cash flow in order to scale.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

They got the product for half price today with the goal of paying 25% as time goes on.

In reply to DAVE. First fee was $300, last one $410. Every time I ended up working more than if I would do the inspection. (I guess they are desperate, but one less victim on the market.) One property was 5 min walk from the office. I tried. I learned first hand what is it about. The idea is, that they take the inspection from our hands and everything they can, except do the, truly the appraisal work, the analysis.
