What is Cash Flow?
Cash flow is the net movement of cash into and out of a business in a given period.
A real Kenyan example
M-Pesa in 800k + bank in 200k − supplier out 700k − payroll out 200k = +100k net cash.
Why it matters
Profitable businesses still go under when cash flow is poor. Cash beats profit.
