Around 90%+ of all ecommerce stores fail according to Shopify. Here are the Top 5 financial mistakes newer brands make and how to avoid them:

1. Not setting up accurate accrual accounting

This might be the single most common mistake newer brands make. They have no idea what their true unit economics is on a SKU, channel, or company basis. If you don't know what's profitable and what isn't, you can't make informed decisions. Hire a bookkeeper or use a tool like Finaloop to get your financials in order. 

2. Not optimizing your financial stack

Your financial stack can be thought of as your credit cards, bank accounts, and lines of credit. If you're not optimizing your usage of all three of these you're leaving real money on the table. You want to use your credit cards to max out cash back, points earned, and payback period. For bank accounts, you want the highest APR, lowest fees and max FDIC insurance. For lines of credit, you want to have access to the most flexible credit terms at the lowest rates to help boost your cash conversion cycle. For credit cards consider American Express Plum, Amex Gold, Parker, Capital One Spark Plus, or Ampla. For banking consider Mercury, Novo, or Ampla. For Lines of Credit Ampla's Growth Line of Credit is a no brainer. 

3. Not negotiating your vendor terms

This is one of the most powerful levers you can pull to increase your cash flow and reduce your cash conversion cycle. Brands should periodically negotiate better and better terms. You can even try to negotiate paying 3-5% higher prices in exchange for an additional 30-60+ days. Doing this in tandem with paying suppliers with a 60-90 day credit card via Melio is one of the biggest hacks to improving your cash conversion cycle. 

4. Not building a weekly cash flow forecast

Not forecasting your future cash inflows and outflows is like a scuba diver going deep underwater without knowing how much oxygen they have in the tank. Cash flow, like oxygen, breathes life into your business. Setup a simple weekly forecast in excel estimating cash inflows and outflows and use it to drive decisions around inventory purchasing, advertising, and drawing on your lines of credit.

5. Not having an emergency fund

You never know when a product will get delisted, when someone will decide to sue you, or when China will release a bioweapon causing the entire global supply chain to break down. You should aim to have 3-6 months of fixed expenses in cash for when emergency strikes. Remember the #1 rule of business: don't run out of cash. 

Avoiding these 5 common financial mistakes is key for newer brands looking to scale.
