Real Challenges from Taiwan Business Owners
After years of consulting with Taiwan companies, we've identified the most common working capital problems that keep business owners awake at night. These aren't theoretical issues - they're real situations that affect profitability and growth.
Customer Payment Delays
Manufacturing companies often extend 30-60 day payment terms to win contracts, but customers frequently pay even later. This creates cash flow gaps that force expensive short-term borrowing.
Inventory Optimization
Service businesses transitioning to product sales struggle to balance inventory levels. Too little stock means lost sales; too much ties up capital and increases storage costs.
Seasonal Cash Swings
Tourism, retail, and consumer services face dramatic seasonal variations. Many owners don't plan for the cash requirements during slow periods, creating unnecessary stress.
