"Most businesses don't have a profit problem. They have a system problem."
The Problem
Why Field Services Businesses Run Out of Cash
You have strong revenue. Your calendar is full. Yet the bank balance never reflects what you think you've earned. This isn't a revenue problem — it's a cash timing problem that most accountants miss because they look at the wrong numbers.
📄
The Invoice Lag
You finish a $12K commercial job. You invoice 3 days later. Net-45 terms. You see cash 48 days after the work was done — but paid your techs in 5 days.
📅
The Seasonal Swing
60% of HVAC revenue lands June–September. Your overhead doesn't take a winter break. The owners who survive plan their summer surplus for January.
🚀
Growth That Outpaces Cash
You land a $200K commercial contract. Now you need $40K in materials, two new techs, and a truck — before collecting a dollar of that contract.
📊
The SCORE/SBA Research Finding: Over 80% of small business failures cite cash flow problems as a primary cause — not lack of profitability. You can be profitable on paper and bankrupt in practice.
The Solution
What the Torque 13 Forecast Actually Is
The Torque 13 is a rolling, week-by-week view of every dollar coming in and every dollar going out. Not a budget. Not a P&L. A cash instrument panel — like a speedometer for your business.

The Critical Insight
The Collection Timing Problem
When you bill $50,000 in a week, here's when it actually lands in your bank account. Most business owners assume it arrives faster than it does — and that assumption creates the cash gap.
Same week (cash/card)
55%
Week +1 (Net-30 start)
20%
Week +3 (Insurance/GC)
8%
On $50K billed this week, you collect only ~$27,500 in actual cash this week. The Torque 13 makes this timing visible 13 weeks in advance.
