Wealth & Family Planning
Liquidity Planning
Structuring a strategy to meet cash flow needs without disrupting long-term wealth plans.
Liquidity planning means looking ahead, building a flexible plan that anticipates changes in cash flow over a set period, typically quarter by quarter or year by year, so that obligations can be met without disrupting long term plans. For a business, it gives a realistic picture of current spending and future solvency. For a family, it helps ensure there is liquidity where and when it is needed, from day to day commitments through to the transfer of wealth to the next generation.
Why liquidity planning matters
Spot bottlenecks early
Identifying points where cash flow may tighten, so their impact can be planned for before they arrive.
See the current picture
A clear view of how money is moving today, and where it could be put to better use.
Manage spending actively
Keeping unnecessary outflows to a minimum and adjusting spending to match expected cash levels.
Anticipate value
For business owners, a clearer sense of how the business's value may develop, which can inform the timing of a sale or transfer.
A liquidity plan is not static. It should be reviewed regularly and adjusted as circumstances change, whether through unexpected gains or setbacks.
Liquidity and legacy
For private clients and families, liquidity planning is closely tied to the wider estate plan. We help clients:
- Maintain sufficient resources for later life without drawing on assets reserved for their legacy.
- Plan for the costs that can arise when an estate is settled.
- Protect the family from unforeseen events that could affect the value of assets they intend to pass on.
- Balance the distribution of wealth between family members, reducing the potential for conflict when a family business is transferred.
Sources of liquidity
When a plan calls for liquidity, selling assets is only one option. Depending on what a client holds, securities-backed lending or the monetization of a bank instrument can raise capital while keeping the underlying assets in place. We help clients weigh these options against their wider plan, alongside their Estate & Trust Planning.
