How Can You Deal with a Cashflow Crisis?

As a small business owner, you know how important it is to have a good cashflow; the ability to have sufficient money available to make payments, pay wages and buy new goods when you need them. But what happens when an unexpected cost hits you, if a large customer makes a late payment, or if they refuse to pay altogether?

It is well known that even profitable, healthy businesses can be crippled by a lack of cashflow. With a survey by Altradius showing that the average small business has to write off £14,000 a year in bad debts; it is clear that cashflow difficulties are affecting more and more businesses.

The good news is that a useful solution is easy, quick and low cost!  Factoring and Invoice Discounting allow you to get up to 90% of the value of an invoice instantly, with the remainder paid after the debt is collected. This means that if you offer credit terms of 3 months, you no longer need to wait 3 months to get paid!

Not only does factoring allow you to maximize your cashflow without needing to take out a loan, it also makes it easier for you to offer credit terms to your customers; providing you with a useful selling and bargaining point.

Factoring is particularly useful if you have just started up in business. It can be a busy time, with setup costs as well as equipment and supply costs all going out in a short time period. By using factoring to get finance from your invoices, you can help to maintain your cashflow for those essential purchases and costs.
 

Why not find out whether our Factoring and Invoice Discounting services can help you maintain cashflow and get paid quickly!
