Fix it

Ask your supplier to take the balance 60 days after the goods arrive. The figures here carry no interest for it; a supplier may want something back. A 20/80 deposit split does not change your lowest month. Suppliers give it to buyers they know; repeat orders earn it.

With the balance paid 60 days after the goods arrive your lowest cash is £168,400 in February 2027. COMPUTED
