Consider turnover issues

Clearly, turnover will be important for your business, but you need to ensure that you do not fall into the trap of ‘over-trading’.  Blindly chasing turnover can be risky because of the up-front costs you will inevitably incur. What happens if payments are not received until weeks or even months down the line? How will your cash flow be affected as a result?

No-one wants to turn away business in the current economic climate but you may wish to consider asking for advance payments to cover materials and supplies.
