About this Event
Most cash flow pressure doesn’t come from lack of success.
More often, it’s a timing problem, a structure problem, or a funding problem that only becomes visible once a business starts to grow. And by that point, most owners are already carrying the pressure rather than getting ahead of it.
On Thursday 2nd July, A4G, The Finance Hub and Bibby Financial Services are co-hosting a panel discussion and focused, practical afternoon in Belgravia, London. Bringing together three different perspectives, this session explores one shared challenge: how to build businesses that don’t just grow, but stay financially in control while doing it.
What we’ll cover
How cash flow really behaves in growing businesses
Co-Managing Partner, A4G Chartered Accountants
Emma will explore why profitable businesses still run into cash pressure, and how structure, timing, and planning change that outcome.
This includes:
- Cash flow planning through different stages of growth
- Preparing for acquisitions without stretching liquidity
- Structuring decisions so funding supports strategy, not restricts it
Invoice finance in the real world

Why this session, why now
At A4G, we work with owner-managed businesses every day that are trying to balance growth with control.
We’ve seen how quickly cash flow becomes the limiting factor, even in businesses that are fundamentally performing well.
This session brings together advisers, funders, and practitioners who see that reality from different angles, so business owners can make clearer, more confident decisions.
