Glancing Back and Looking Forward
While 2016 was consumed with the Democrat, Republican and even the Green Party primaries; and while the general public was glued to the political debates, media sound bites and twitter feeds, small businesses were still busy at work creating jobs, innovation and positive contributions to their local economies. And AmPac was equally busy seeking ways to better serve businesses at all stages of growth as a trusted advisor on financing their growth.

Manage Your "Gap" and Reap the Benefits
The business coaches and consultants of the world like to use the term "KPIs" in their interaction with clients. KPI is an abbreviation for "Key Performance Indicators," which are important business numbers and ratios that entrepreneurs should track. The basic premise of KPIs is the business mantra, "what you measure, you can manage."
In my world of executive coaching, one of my favorite KPIs is what I call the "Gap". My suggestion to CEOs is to know what your gap is, why it is important and strategize ways to shorten your company's gap.
Defining the Gap
The Gap is most applicable to manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors. (Service companies, professionals firms, retailers or contractors will also have gaps, but their gap calculation is slightly different due to the nature of their assets, who they sell to and how they get paid.)
The number of days it takes a business
to turn its inventory, collect its accounts receivable and when it wants to (or has to), pay its vendors, (accounts payable) are the inputs used in calculating the gap.
