In a business landscape full of challenges, the need for sound and effective financial management is more evident than ever. Among the numerous factors that can bring a company to the brink of collapse, a shortage of financial resources stands out as one of the most crucial. After all, it is undeniable that financial health is the backbone that sustains any and all business operations.
It is essential to understand that the mere presence of revenue does not guarantee a company's survival. The lack of a strategic approach to managing these resources can quickly lead businesses into the financial abyss. The absence of efficient financial management is the epicenter of this problem, silently but devastatingly shaking the warnings of operations.
In conclusion, the main cause of business failure is lack of financial management, lack of long-term planning and lack of risk analysis and management. No, this is not a mere detail, no matter how solid the company and the market it operates in, there is always an imminent risk in the market that can trigger a series of disastrous events. A company, no matter how promising, is liable to get caught up in this vicious circle without the right guidance. It is therefore crucial to consider that financial management is not just a task, but a security that underpins the company's future.
Let's take the example of 123Milhas, which is an online travel agency that offers the purchase of tickets, accommodation and other travel services and products (such as packages, insurance and car rental). The agency said it had suspended packages and the issuing of tickets for its promotional line (with flexible dates), which has shipments scheduled from September to December 2023, and triggered a series of operational and legal problems for the company, which even filed for Judicial Recovery.
