What this planner helps you decide
Best for
Product businesses timing inventory payments against expected customer cash collections.
Outputs
Peak funding gap, the first and peak gap dates, recovery timing and the closing funding position.
Start here
Enter known supplier, freight and other inventory cash outflows alongside realistic dated customer collections.
Use a different tool when: Do not use this to identify a dated cash-buffer breach and peak funding gap; use Cash Runway Planner for that decision. Use this tool to identify the peak cash funding gap between inventory payments and customer collections.

Inventory Funding Gap: peak funding gap
The result rolls only the dated cash events you enter; it does not forecast sales, collections or supplier behaviour.
Formula summary
- Primary formula
- maximum of zero and negative cumulative funding position
Data used here
- The estimate uses your inputs and the general business formula documented in the methodology.
Decision checks

- Results depend on complete, consistently classified inputs.
- Demand, timing, quality and strategic fit remain separate decisions.
- This is educational business decision support, not accounting, tax, legal or financial advice.
