Guide
Know your runway. Make decisions early.
Runway planning turns cash anxiety into clear tradeoffs based on reality.
What runway planning is
Runway planning is a simple view of current cash, monthly burn, and the drivers that change it.
- Current cash position
- Monthly burn or cash generation
- The few drivers that move burn: payroll, collections, seasonality, major expenses
The goal isn’t a complex model. The goal is earlier decisions.
Why runway feels unclear
- The close is inconsistent or delayed
- Cash is distorted by timing issues in AR/AP or taxes
- Collections lag behind revenue
- Costs drift quietly, especially payroll and subscriptions
What to do first
- Make sure the statements are reliable
- Separate timing issues from real burn
- Track the few drivers that matter
