Your business: Working Capital issues and how we can help |
When businesses approach us for advice regarding capital raising, we frequently find that companies start seeking help when they already have serious cash flow or working capital issues.
Working capital refers to the funds available to cover day-to-day operational expenses and short-term liabilities. If a company's current assets (e.g. cash, accounts receivable, inventory) are not sufficient to cover its current liabilities (e.g. accounts payable, short-term debt), it may indicate a working capital problem.
Some of the common signs of having problems with cash flow include: Outstanding Australian Taxation Office (ATO) debts; Receivable collection issues; Payables being greater than receivables; Struggling to pay suppliers, staff or superannuation payments on time; Struggling to service debt payments, or increasing debt amounts; Margin erosion; and Being in a loss-making position.

Introducing Project Grid
Creating a two way power flow |
|
|
|
Project Grid is an Australian
company that is the inventor and manufacturer of an award-winning solution to
the voltage problem caused by clean energy producers trying to send energy back
to electricity grids. The disruptive technology developed by Project Grid
combines software as a service (SaaS) energy software and a unique grid edge
device to improve the stability and capacity of electricity networks.
Electricity grids are built
for the one-way flow of power, severely limiting the amount of rooftop solar,
batteries and EVs that can be used in local suburbs. Project Grid’s technology
creates a two-way power flow which enables up to 13 times more renewable assets
and thereby allows communities to generate and use more power locally, resulting
in less reliance on the grid. From a single household consumer or small
township going off the grid, to large industrial buildings becoming urban solar
power plants, Project Grid puts distributed energy resources to work.
Commercialisation commenced in
2020 with the integration of the technology solution into a microgrid project
with a global retail giant at one of their Australian sites. Project Grid has now
opened offices in Singapore, London, New York and San Francisco to complement
their growing Australia operations.
