The entrepreneur may be approaching insolvency if they have late payments to suppliers or vendors, high accounts payable, or low cash reserves. To recover, the entrepreneur could obtain a short term loan, reduce expenses, or liquidate unneeded assets. The business could take immediate tactics to conserve cash like delaying supplier payments, reducing marketing expenses, negotiating rent deferral, or temporarily laying off non-essential staff. These tactics would help by freeing up cash in the short term but could harm relationships or reduce revenue.
