I bet your instincts are better.

1) Poor cash flow & old debts, what's wrong with the debts?
2) Are they just slow, or is there an underlying problem?
3) If just slow, how do you apply pressure? and then follow it up?
4) If there's a problem with your goods/services delaying payment how do you resolve it?

Point 4) is for the medium term, to stop it happening again. If there's been a problem do a deal to generate some quick cash.

With regard to consulutants:

There's any number of people who will relieve you of cash, to tell you what you already know.

If you want to email me through my PH profile, giving your email address, I may be able to give you some advice. I assume that you've had one or two bad debts - you'll need to elaborate on that somewhat.

We are much in the same boat to some extent.

Having said that,there a few positive signs on the horizon.
