What would happen to businesses if everyone had unlimited cash?

What would happen to businesses if everyone had unlimited cash is that they would have too much customers and would probably run out of stock very fast. The good thing about it is that the business would make a lot of money that they would be able to expand and open other stores. The bad thing about people having unlimited cash is that they would buy all the products that more will have to be made and our resources would run out faster. When the resources run out, the company would have nothing to sell and would run out of business.
