Runway Extension

Also known as Extend Runway, Cash Runway Extension

Definition

Runway extension increases the number of weeks or months a company can operate before cash runs out or financing becomes mandatory. It can come from cost reduction, collections acceleration, vendor terms, pricing, working-capital control, financing, or strategic scope decisions.

Runway extension is not just cutting spend. The best plan protects the work that creates enterprise value while removing cash burn that does not.

The first step is a cash forecast that shows exactly when decisions become irreversible.
