Liquidity risk is the danger that a business runs short of usable cash before its next inflows arrive, even when it remains profitable on paper. For a board, this is the exposure that ends companies fastest, because covenant cures, payroll and supplier confidence all hinge on near-term cash rather than annual results. This report sets out how a thirteen-week cash-flow framework is built and read in your chosen jurisdiction and industry, the warning indicators that signal a tightening position, the scenario ranges that stress receipts and payments, and the realistic impact bands when a runway shortens. It also explains the controls that preserve headroom and the point at which you should engage treasury specialists, restructuring advisers or counsel, framed as research to inform your own decisions rather than advice.
