Simplifying finance....ย โ€ขย 21d

For a long time, I assumed that profitability meant safety. If a business was making money, I believed it was stable. Over time, I realised profit alone can be misleading. Many businesses fail not because they arenโ€™t profitable, but because deeper issues remain hidden. Profits show up on paper, but they donโ€™t always reflect cash flow strength, execution quality, or long-term resilience. ๐‘พ๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐’๐’‡๐’•๐’†๐’ ๐’ˆ๐’๐’†๐’” ๐’˜๐’“๐’๐’๐’ˆ? ๐Ÿ’ธ Profits without cash flow discipline. ๐Ÿ“ˆ Growth without scalable systems. โš ๏ธ Weak governance and delayed risk awareness. ๐Ÿ”„ Overdependence on limited products or markets. Growth can hide inefficiencies until liquidity tightens or confidence breaks. When that happens, profitability offers little protection. ๐Ÿ“Œ ๐—ž๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด: Profit is an outcome, not a guarantee. Resilient businesses focus on cash flow, execution, and adaptability and not just earnings.

When I analyse businesses, free cash flow is the metric I trust the most. Profits can look strong on paper, but cash flow shows whether a company can actually fund growth, service debt, and survive tough cycles. What free cash flow quietly tells us:
