The Cash Runway

Hina Qureshi · managing partner, Caravan Events — profitable on paper, tight on Thursday

Caravan is profitable the way event companies are: money arrives in lumps, leaves in drips, and twice a year Thursday payroll gets interesting. Hina’s cash picture lives in her head, updated by fear.

The Cash Runway sends a Monday cash brief: today’s position across accounts, what’s due in and out over eight weeks, and the first week that looks thin — while there’s still time to do something about it.

The mock

A sketch of the Monday cash brief — not yet built for a client, which is why it fades out.

Caravan Events

Cash runway — Monday 8 June

from bank exports + receivables + payables · 8-week view

Today: Rs 9.4M across two accounts

Up Rs 1.1M on last week — Zarnab Pharma’s invoice cleared.

Next four weeks: comfortable

Rs 6.2M expected in (two invoices, both with an 80%+ on-time history) against Rs 4.8M out (payroll, vendors, rent).

⚠️ Week of 20 July: thin

The Bolan Bank conference deposit lands after the marquee vendor’s advance is due. Fix now: invoice the deposit this week, or agree the vendor advance in two parts.

What we’d build

What arrives: a Monday cash brief — today’s position, eight weeks forward, and the first thin week flagged with a suggested fix.
When: weekly, from the bank exports and invoices your accountant already keeps.
Your part: the fix — it sees the squeeze coming; you make the call that avoids it.

The essentials

We run this for you. You don’t operate anything; the brief just arrives. Your decisions: what counts as thin, and who else sees the runway.

Build time: 2–3 weeks
Honest note: A forecast is a guess with receipts — every number shows whether it’s contracted, probable, or hope.
