Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Kenya face numerous challenges, but managing cash flow effectively is crucial for their success. A well-managed cash flow ensures that businesses can meet their financial obligations, invest in growth opportunities, and navigate through tough economic periods.
However, many SME owners struggle to keep track of incoming and outgoing funds due to limited resources, lack of financial expertise, or using outdated methods. According to the 2021 Kenya National Bureau of Statistics report, 38% of SMEs in Kenya faced cash flow issues, which can lead to business closure.
