Growth leads to cash flow deterioration because upfront costs for labor and materials outpace delayed collections, causing a cash crunch even as revenue rises.

Existing financial tools track cash flow but don't model the forward-looking impact of new contracts or projects, so owners can't visualize the cash drain before committing.

GrowthCash Simulator

GrowthCash Simulator is a cash flow forecasting tool that models the cash impact of new projects before you sign.

Unlike generic accounting software, it's built for service businesses with thin margins and helps you avoid the growth cash trap.

Automatic calculation of cash conversion cycle and funding gap for each new client
What-if scenario modeling to compare different deposit percentages or payment schedules
Integration with accounting software to pull real cost and revenue data

Target Users: Owners of small to mid-size service businesses (e.g., consulting, construction, field services) with 5-50 employees and net 30-60 payment terms.

Revenue Model: $49/mo per user SaaS subscription with a 14-day free trial; $199/mo for team plan with multi-project modeling and priority support.
