The company account runs low
Simplified example
Your company has been running for two months. The monthly close shows €3,000 in wages for your two employees, but the company account only holds €2,400. You have €5,000 in cash on your private account.
What do you do?
Choose a decision to see its consequences. You can look at every option; there is no time limit and no one right answer.
A. Move €1,000 from your cash into the company account
Right away: Wages are covered and €400 remains in the account. Privately you still have €4,000.
Possible later: If revenue does not rise, you face the same question next month, with less private cushion.
B. Not refill a position when it becomes vacant
Right away: Nothing changes this month and the account cannot cover all wages. You still need to top it up at short notice.
Possible later: Later, wage costs fall. With fewer staff, the company can also do less.
C. Wait and do nothing
Right away: The account cannot cover the wages. Your employees are other players and they notice.
Possible later: People who do not get paid are more likely to look for another job. Waiting does not solve the cash problem.
