Your cashflow forecast may indicate that you will have a cashflow dip at some point in the future. If this is a temporary dip then borrowing is the way to go. If the forecast doesn’t indicate this is temporary then borrowing is not the best route.

A longer term cash flow dip indicates that the business is potentially not viable and borrowing won’t be the best solution. However a short term dip can be filled with borrowing a forecast will help you raise these sort of funds.
