Negative Cash Flow

Negative cash flow means more cash is going out of the business than coming in during a particular period. This does not always mean the business is loss-making, because it may be investing heavily or repaying debt, but it does signal pressure on liquidity. If negative cash flow continues for too long without proper planning, it can create funding problems.
