Short answer

Start by dating the bank balances and listing receipts expected and payments due over the same period. Check settlement timing and identify uncertain amounts before deciding what cash is available.

Build the payment timeline

Include payroll, approved supplier bills, rent and other known commitments. Record the date, amount and authorizing person for each relevant decision.

Verify the receipts and update the plan

Use card and delivery settlement statements to check what should arrive and when. Ready Margin can help investigate gaps and prepare scenarios; the response depends on the cause and may require specialist advice.
