Five Early Warning Signs Your Business Debt Is About to Snowball

Financial strain often builds gradually, and the warning signs can be easy to overlook. Recognizing them early is the key to preventing a full-blown crisis.

Warning Sign 1: Cash Flow Crunch

You’re relying on new financing to cover recurring expenses instead of growth initiatives.

Warning Sign 2: Declining Margins

Even small decreases in profitability make fixed payments harder to maintain.

Warning Sign 3: Payment Stacking

You have multiple advances or short-term obligations with overlapping draft schedules.

Warning Sign 4: Communication Fatigue

You’re avoiding creditor calls or emails because there’s nothing new to say.

Warning Sign 5: Disrupted Operations

Vendors or employees are affected by inconsistent payments or funding delays.
