Cash is King — Managing Finance and Cash Flow Pressures in a Pandemic

Speaker: Matthew Ringgenberg

Associate Professor of Finance at the David Eccles School of Business at the University of Utah

This session focused on academic and business experts discussing financial planning to prevent insovlency, to pay yourself, to talk with the right people for the short-term and long-term, and to prepare for the return to more usual business activities as the pandemic ends.

This unprecedented forum is provided free of charge to business leaders through the generosity of the George S. and Dolores Dorè Eccles Foundation.

This forum addressed the following questions:

  • What changes should I make to my business to manage cash flow in the coming weeks and months?
  • What conversations should I have with my bank?
  • What conversations should I have with my suppliers, customers, landlord, etc.?
  • Are my personal assets at risk? How should I structure new loans?
