Fasty Funding Publishes the 90-Day Liquidity Test for Business Owners
August 16, 2026
By Don McClain
Senior Funding Advisor, Fasty Funding
Founder & Principal, Fast Commercial Capital
Fasty Funding has published a new working-capital planning framework designed to help established business owners identify potential liquidity requirements before cash flow becomes tight.
The 90-Day Liquidity Test: Five Questions Every Business Owner Should Answer Before Cash Flow Tightens was published through Growth Capital Insights, Fasty Funding’s LinkedIn newsletter covering business funding, working capital, financing readiness and growth capital.
A profitable business can still experience a liquidity problem.
Revenue may be increasing while the company faces immediate expenses related to payroll, inventory, equipment, suppliers, contract mobilization, accounts receivable or expansion.
The new framework encourages business owners to evaluate five questions:
-
What cash obligations will the business face during the next 90 days?
-
How predictable are the company’s cash inflows?
-
What existing obligations are already using the company’s cash flow?
-
What exactly will additional capital accomplish?
-
What happens if the business waits another 30 or 60 days?
The purpose is not to encourage unnecessary borrowing. It is to help business owners understand their capital position while they still have time to compare potential funding structures, organize documentation and make informed decisions.

Commercial Real Estate Capital-Planning Series
Commercial real estate financing is distinct from the business-funding and working-capital solutions provided through Fasty Funding.
However, the current commercial real estate refinancing cycle reinforces a broader capital principle that also applies to operating businesses:
Capital planning should begin before the need becomes urgent.
