That may be true for existing business but that is a pretty harsh sentiment to apply to a business just starting out. It's pretty hard to save when you are just starting to grow revenues or when you are even earlier in your business cycle.

Of course it is easy to build cash reserves if you are an established company, but an early stage services company would be hard pressed to work without short term credit.

A world without short term credit looks a lot like the third world. I prefer living here (at least I used to).
