Have you ever opened Instagram and wondered: How on earth are Gen Zs affording all these luxury trips? We’ve seen floating breakfasts in Bali, infinity pools in Dubai, drone shots in the Maldives… all treats for some 20-somethings we see on social media.

According to the 2022 ASEAN SME Transformation Study by UOB, Accenture and Dun & Bradstreet, 82% of business failures are linked to poor cash-flow management, serving as a reminder of how vulnerable SMEs can be when funds are left idle or visibility over cash positions is weak.

Kelvin, Co-founder and Group CEO, Funding Societies and Dennis Poh, Founder and Managing Partner of Legatcy Consulting LLP, join the Breakfast Show to explore what smarter cash management looks like today, from segmenting working capital to using digital treasury tools and short-term instruments, and how SMEs can build stronger financial resilience.
