Quite a number of studies have been done on small industry in Malaysia but none is done especially on cash planning of these industries. The author feels that cash planning is vital for companies to manage its working capital appropriately. Most small companies take for granted that proper cash planning can help them to meet their financial obligations as and when they fall due and also can help them to plan for expansion of their business. Informations regarding the sample companies are obtained from the Ministry Of Industrial Development, Sarawak State Government.
