The problem is what can happen after that. Especially during their startup phase, tech companies rarely are able to hire treasury professionals who are used to managing liquidity — keeping the optimal amount of cash available for operations, while successfully investing the rest. And that can get them in trouble.</p> <p> </p> <p>If you think liquidity isn’t a big deal — since investors are still swooning over tech companies — consider the trajectory of the past five years. Think back to 2021. “Everyone was raising money, there was a lot of money in the system — more than ever before,” says Jeff Minick, Bank of America’s Transformative Technology Group executive. “Some companies said, ‘I don’t want to raise money because it will dilute my equity percentage.’ After all, for the past five years, money had been readily available. And then 2022 hit. Interest rates rose, valuations were not where they were. And the money people had raised in 2019 and they thought needed to last only a couple of years all of a sudden had to last until 2023.”</p> <p> </p> <p>Many companies learned the hard way that liquidity is the number one lifeblood of the organization. When a company loses money from an operating perspective, everyone understands. But liquidity is different, especially for a CFO. You can’t run out of cash.</p> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--separator"> <div class="separator separator--transparent separator--top-padding-none separator--bottom-padding-none"> <div class="separator__line separator__line--transparent separator__line--thin"></div> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--information-callout"> <div class="information-callout information-callout--quotation "> <div class="information-callout__wrapper"> <p class="information-callout__headline">"A tech startup needs to focus on the prudent use of capital, until there is a proven business model."</p> <div class="information-callout__byline"> <img class="information-callout__byline--headshot" src="/content/dam/flagship/gcb/liquidity-challenges/JeffMinick-200x200.jpg" width="200" height="200" aria-hidden="true"/> <p class="information-callout__byline--contributor"> Jeff Minick | National Transformative Technology Group Executive | Bank of America</p> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--separator"> <div class="separator separator--transparent separator--top-padding-none separator--bottom-padding-none"> <div class="separator__line separator__line--transparent separator__line--thin"></div> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--header"> <div class="header text " data-action="text-component"> <h2 class="header__headline header--h3 header--blue"> Building the right approach </h2> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--text"> <div class="text" data-props-tagging-label="Text_Link-_-Hyperlink-_-" data-props-tagging-class="t-track-text-link" data-action="text-component"> <p>For tech companies, liquidity requires a different equation than the rules used by businesses in other sectors of the economy. “A tech startup needs to focus on the prudent use of capital, until there is a proven business model,” Minick says. “That’s critical, because there is no guarantee you can raise another round of funding.”</p> <p> </p> <p>To begin with, the company treasurer must understand that his or her role may be different than the treasurer of a non-tech business. Explains Minick: “Tech founders are idea people. Sometimes the CFO needs to be the chief ‘no’ officer. The founder will have 10 ideas. But if capital is scarce, if you don’t have an unlimited supply of cash, the CFO should drive discipline within the organization. What are the one, two or three ideas you can chase to build that valid business model?</p> <p> </p> <p>“That’s where we see companies fail; they lack a focus and discipline in managing their ideas and thus their capital.”</p> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--separator"> <div class="separator separator--transparent separator--top-padding-small separator--bottom-padding-small"> <div class="separator__line separator__line--black separator__line--thin"></div> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--header"> <div class="header text " data-action="text-component"> <h2 class="header__headline header--h3 header--blue"> The number-one job is to put money into the core business. </h2> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--separator"> <div class="separator separator--transparent separator--top-padding-small separator--bottom-padding-small"> <div class="separator__line separator__line--black separator__line--thin"></div> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--text"> <div class="text" data-props-tagging-label="Text_Link-_-Hyperlink-_-" data-props-tagging-class="t-track-text-link" data-action="text-component"> <p>The number-one job is to put money into the core business. “That is the greatest return. That’s what you’re getting investment dollars for. That capital has been invested to be ready to grow the business,” Minick says. “And it needs to be able to last long enough to ride out cycles in the business.”</p> <p> </p> <p>In thinking about a liquidity strategy, how much cash is enough? Bank of America’s view is that a company should have cash totaling three times its annual burn rate. So if a company is burning $10 million a year, it needs $30 million in available cash. </p> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--image"> <div id="image_2989" class="image image--single " data-action="image-component"> <div class="image__wrapper text image--left" data-action="text-component"> <div class="image__content"> <picture class="image__picture"> <source srcset="/content/dam/flagship/gcb/liquidity-challenges/bestpractice-graphic-1200x800.jpg" media="(min-width: 75.0625rem)"/> <source srcset="/content/dam/flagship/gcb/liquidity-challenges/Bestpractice-graphic-1088x725.jpg" media="(min-width: 64.0625rem)"/> <source srcset="/content/dam/flagship/gcb/liquidity-challenges/Bestpractice-graphic-640x427.jpg" media="(min-width: 48.0625rem)"/> <img class="image__img " src="/content/dam/flagship/gcb/liquidity-challenges/Bestpractice-graphic-375x250.jpg" width="375" height="250" aria-hidden="false"/> </picture> </div> </div> <div class="image__text-version image--left"> <div class="collapse-text text" data-action="collapse-text-component" data-props-show-text-label="Show text" data-props-hide-text-label="Hide text"> <div class="collapse-text__button"> <button class="cta cta--btn js-collapse-text-button collapse-text-button t-track-infographic-link" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapse_text_13891" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse_text_13891" data-bactmln="Infographic-_-Text-_-Show">Show text</button> </div> <div class="collapse-text__description"> <div class="collapse js-collapse-text-description collapse-text-description" id="collapse_text_13891" aria-hidden="true"> <div class="collapse-text__body"> <div class="collapse-text__head"> <div class="collapse-text__pick"></div> <a class="collapse-text__close js-collapse-text-close-btn icon-action-close" href="#" role="button"> <span class="sr-only">close</span> </a> </div> <div class="collapse-text__text" data-props-tagging-label="Text_Link-_-Hyperlink-_-" data-props-tagging-class="t-track-text-link" data-action="text-component"><p>Best practice = Cash totaling 3x annual burn rate + 7 days of operating liquidity <br/> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="aem-wrap--separator"> <div class="separator separator--transparent separator--top-padding-none separator--bottom-padding-none"> <div class="separator__line separator__line--transparent separator__line--thin"></div> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--text"> <div class="text" data-props-tagging-label="Text_Link-_-Hyperlink-_-" data-props-tagging-class="t-track-text-link" data-action="text-component"> <p>But Minick says most tech companies, once they’re Series B/C companies, often operate with only one to two years’ available cash. An exception: bootstrapped companies that show profit and a profitable business model. They have to raise less money but also have a slower growth rate.</p> <p> </p> <p>For every company, the trick with liquidity is to figure out the point of equilibrium: How much liquidity do I need to achieve my optimal growth/profitable business model? It’s not necessarily difficult to figure that out.

Instead, investing capital often is happening fast and loose, and the founder is frequently making investment decisions for the company. “The tendency then is to default to the same type of investing profile for the company that the founder would follow personally — and often, not surprisingly, that means a portfolio that’s tech-leaning, future-leaning,” Minick says. “That is not the best solution for either liquidity or corporate investments, where you need to mitigate risk.”</p> <p> </p> <p>In order to stay focused on the main goal — using investor dollars to build the business — tech companies need to carve out the time to craft a solid investment policy. In general, that policy should contain goals for capital preservation and risk tolerance, allocate assets and investments by time horizon, outline responsibilities, list acceptable (and unacceptable) sectors and industries for investment.</p> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--image"> <div id="image_30861" class="image image--single " data-action="image-component"> <div class="image__wrapper text image--left" data-action="text-component"> <div class="image__content"> <picture class="image__picture"> <source srcset="/content/dam/flagship/gcb/liquidity-challenges/Investmentpolicychecklist-graphic-1200x800.jpg" media="(min-width: 75.0625rem)"/> <source srcset="/content/dam/flagship/gcb/liquidity-challenges/Investmentpolicychecklist-graphic-1088x725.jpg" media="(min-width: 64.0625rem)"/> <source srcset="/content/dam/flagship/gcb/liquidity-challenges/Investmentpolicychecklist-graphic-640x427.jpg" media="(min-width: 48.0625rem)"/> <img class="image__img " src="/content/dam/flagship/gcb/liquidity-challenges/Investmentpolicychecklist-graphic-375x250.jpg" width="375" height="250" aria-hidden="false"/> </picture> </div> </div> <div class="image__text-version image--left"> <div class="collapse-text text" data-action="collapse-text-component" data-props-show-text-label="Show text" data-props-hide-text-label="Hide text"> <div class="collapse-text__button"> <button class="cta cta--btn js-collapse-text-button collapse-text-button t-track-infographic-link" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapse_text_88950" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse_text_88950" data-bactmln="Infographic-_-Text-_-Show">Show text</button> </div> <div class="collapse-text__description"> <div class="collapse js-collapse-text-description collapse-text-description" id="collapse_text_88950" aria-hidden="true"> <div class="collapse-text__body"> <div class="collapse-text__head"> <div class="collapse-text__pick"></div> <a class="collapse-text__close js-collapse-text-close-btn icon-action-close" href="#" role="button"> <span class="sr-only">close</span> </a> </div> <div class="collapse-text__text" data-props-tagging-label="Text_Link-_-Hyperlink-_-" data-props-tagging-class="t-track-text-link" data-action="text-component"><p><b>Solid investment policy checklist:</b></p> <p>· Define goals for capital preservation/risk tolerance</p> <p>· Allocate assets + investments by time horizon</p> <p>· Outline responsibilities</p> <p>· List acceptable/unacceptable investment industries</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="aem-wrap--separator"> <div class="separator separator--transparent separator--top-padding-none separator--bottom-padding-none"> <div class="separator__line separator__line--transparent separator__line--thin"></div> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--text"> <div class="text" data-props-tagging-label="Text_Link-_-Hyperlink-_-" data-props-tagging-class="t-track-text-link" data-action="text-component"> <p>Best practice — for true operating cash — is to maintain a minimum of seven days’ worth of operating liquidity in the operating account at a highly rated bank to ensure it is readily available if needed, without the need to convert or sell investments.</p> <p> </p> <p>For surplus cash, a well-written investment policy for a tech company should be conservative, Minick says, generally focusing on bank deposits with highly rated banks, money market funds and U.S. treasuries — AAA-rated investments at the worst — and largely concentrated on the short term. “Why would a high-growth pre-profit tech company ever invest in something for five years?” he asks. “When you think about it, it makes no sense.”</p> <p> </p> <p>“For a tech company, it’s all about tenor and capital preservation,” he says. “In tech, most cash is needed in the medium term or less. You should expect you are going to spend it to invest in the company. There is very rarely a place for long-term investments.”</p> <p> </p> <p>To effectively manage capital and investments, it’s important to work with a financial institution that understands the tech industry, that understands the progression of a company from startup and Series A through an IPO.</p> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--separator"> <div class="separator separator--transparent separator--top-padding-none separator--bottom-padding-none"> <div class="separator__line separator__line--transparent separator__line--thin"></div> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--header"> <div class="header text " data-action="text-component"> <h2 class="header__headline header--h3 header--blue"> Managing global liquidity </h2> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--text"> <div class="text" data-props-tagging-label="Text_Link-_-Hyperlink-_-" data-props-tagging-class="t-track-text-link" data-action="text-component"> <p>Most tech companies are global — either in production, sales or both — so they also should consider the potential complications of global cash management.</p> <p> </p> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--information-callout"> <div class="information-callout information-callout--quotation "> <div class="information-callout__wrapper"> <p class="information-callout__headline">“In managing global liquidity, the first priority is the need for visibility and control.”</p> <div class="information-callout__byline"> <img class="information-callout__byline--headshot" src="/content/dam/flagship/gcb/liquidity-challenges/StefanLeijdekkers-200x200.jpg" width="200" height="200" aria-hidden="true"/> <p class="information-callout__byline--contributor"> Stefan Leijdekkers | Treasury Executive Commercial Bank | Bank of America</p> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--text"> <div class="text" data-props-tagging-label="Text_Link-_-Hyperlink-_-" data-props-tagging-class="t-track-text-link" data-action="text-component"> <p> </p> <p>Stefan Leijdekkers says, “In managing global liquidity, the first priority is the need for visibility and control. The first questions should be: Do we understand where all the cash balances are? Do we have control over our cash? And can we move it to where it needs to be?”</p> <p> </p> <p>Leijdekkers is treasury executive for the Commercial Bank’s high-growth segments including technology, healthcare, restaurant franchises, and sponsors. For a global company, he says, it’s the treasurer’s job to ensure cash is available in the right country and in the right currency at the right time. It sounds simple but can be complicated. “There are regulations in many countries that restrict transfers and currency conversions, which can lead to trapped cash in certain markets — and inefficiencies in liquidity management,” he says. Sometimes it’s unavoidable; doing business in countries like China or India means working with strict regulations in place.</p> <p> </p> <p>To effectively manage cash, he says, “It’s really important to stay up to date with regulations in each of the company’s markets. But that’s not easy, if, like many tech companies, you run a lean finance team or a small dedicated treasury group based in the U.S.”</p> <p> </p> <p>It's also important to understand the strategies and tools that are available to optimize those cash balances. Companies with extensive global operations often physically consolidate their international and sometimes global surplus cash in locations like London or Amsterdam. In addition, solutions like notional pooling allow a company to offset debit and credit balances across different currencies without actual conversion. Virtual account management also can help reduce the number of physical accounts and improve reconciliation.</p> <p> </p> <p>At Bank of America, Leijdekkers says, helping clients manage global liquidity is a very collaborative process. “We can’t just get information from a client and send back a solution; we spend time to understand the clients’ detailed liquidity management objectives; existing account structures, currencies, balances; system integrations; reconciliation needs; and tax positions,” he says. </p> <p> </p> <p>For instance, he says, “Earlier-stage companies just beginning to open offshore sales offices, software engineering, or finance and customer support departments are often interested in automating one-way just-in-time funding for non-revenue-generating entities in APAC and EMEA.” That automation can ensure payroll and other local obligations are met without questioning whether funds will arrive on time, or worrying about local holiday bank closings.</p> <p> </p> <p>Depending on the intracompany agreements, he says the most common scenario starts with initial funding from a U.S.-based parent company — for example, a global tech company with local subsidiaries and expenses in the U.K., Netherlands and Singapore. “The company can ask its financial partner to establish cross-currency sweeps from the U.S. to the accounts in each international subsidiary’s country,” he says. Then in a situation where it’s advantageous to keep money in one location or another — for instance, when the U.S. began raising interest rates in 2022, well ahead of other countries’ central banks — he says, “this approach can allow a company to earn a solid yield on balances in, for instance, U.S. dollars in the global header account, while also funding non-interest-bearing or even negative interest currencies like Euro obligations just in time.”</p> <p> </p> <p>As companies grow from startup to mid-market, they may reach an inflection point where they prefer to pay in local currencies rather than U.S. dollars. Or the company might see a sizeable aggregate client base in one jurisdiction with corresponding expenses in the same currency. As a company begins collecting in multiple currencies and geographies, it will want to reconsider its liquidity approaches, Leijdekkers says, “perhaps pivoting from one-way cross-currency funding sweeps to the gold standard: omnidirectional global cash concentration. Physical cash concentration structures can be configured to hold cash within one preferred legal entity, located in a favorable jurisdiction.”</p> <p> </p> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--header"> <div class="header text " data-action="text-component"> <h2 class="header__headline header--h3 header--blue"> Looking beyond today’s headlines </h2> </div></div> <div class="aem-wrap--text"> <div class="text" data-props-tagging-label="Text_Link-_-Hyperlink-_-" data-props-tagging-class="t-track-text-link" data-action="text-component"> <p>In 2024, having a well-thought investment policy and liquidity strategy is more important than ever.

I don’t think technology companies should take incremental risk to gain a few basis points of yield.”</p> <p> </p> <p>The outcome of the U.S. election in particular has the potential to change the flow of investment dollars, affect currency exchange rates, and influence merger and acquisition activity. “From a liquidity lens, monetary policy probably won’t be affected by the outcome of the election,” says Minick. “But the outcome could influence the way the Federal Trade Commission looks at M&A, which in turn could affect valuations; if you have more M&A activity, valuations and access to capital improve.”</p> <p> </p> <p>Beyond that, though, Minick says, the signs are almost universally positive for the economy and the availability of capital. “The U.S. economy is great,” he says. Despite persistent inflation and less likelihood of federal funds rate cuts until late in the year, there is visibility — and stability — in rates.</p> <p> </p> <p>In terms of M&A activity, he says, “There are going to be deals done, because they need to be done — private equity needs to monetize certain investments. That then frees up cash to invest in new places. The investment dollars are out there. Private equity or venture capital, there’s plenty of money out there.”</p> <p> </p> <p>That’s all good news for the tech industry, “as long as we don’t get over our skis,” he says. Thankfully, the markets have a good short-term memory — and it will take a while to forget the cash crunch of the past two years. “History tells you that won’t happen for another 10 years.
