That to me sounds like we might lose revenue, but at least we are unlikely to lose money.

It becomes a problem if you borrow to pay for tooling & plant in anticipation of getting paid for product. You might lose your shirt.

Cash flow is the be-all end-all. If you cannot make rent, you are done. Big business does not care. Working for a big business, I have encountered other small companies who do not want to deal with us - getting $MEGACORP to pay their bills on time is a foreign concept.
