Payments held up because of bank holidays? Don’t let that stop your business. In this blog, we’ll help you understand how you can manage cash flow even during bank holidays.
Recently, an article published on NDTV profit stated that over four unions of public sector bank officers threatened to go on a strike, opposing the merger of 10 state-run banks and lenders into 4.
The strike is set for 2 days (Sept 25th – Sept 27th), in light of the Finance minister’s decision to merge public sector banks into 12, from the current 27.
How will bank strikes affect small business payments?
When banks go on strike, payment settlements are halted temporarily. A bank strike will delay timely payments and can cause working capital shortages.
Some working capital problems are:
- You cannot operate day-to-day activities with the lack of working capital.
- Your company loses out on market opportunities such as cash discounts and bulk lower prices on products.
- Your company could lose out on its creditworthiness as you will be unable to pay off your obligations when they have matured.
- You will lose out on investment and expansion opportunities due to insufficient working capital.
- Your business will not be able to utilize fixed assets and your assets will be depreciated in value, which will later lead to increased costs.
