it is the movement of cash within a business.
what has gone out and what has come in.
when a company has cash flow problems it means that it has more money coming out than in. this could happen for any business, no matter how big or wealthy. for example,
companies tend to organise the payment of monthly bills just after the point where their monthly bank balance is usually at its highest, ie when they recieve a monthly payment.
if the monthly payment is late for whatever reason, then their bank balance is going to be unusually low and once the bill is paid, they may be very low on funds until their payment finally does arrive.

The $$ customers spend at the business.
Free cash flow is the $$ they have left after paying all the time and material and other operating costs.
Also as an individual, you could have cash flow from an investment that pays dividends or interest.

Cash flow tells you about how much cash has come in and gone out. This excludes credit cards, cheques and account receivables and payables. Cash flow must always be positive.

Somebody else has the cash, some comes to you and then it says bye bye. The cash has flown the coop.
