Business owners are constantly reminded of the frightening statistics surrounding the number of businesses that fail due to poor cash flow.

Holding debtors costs you money.

To value the money tied up in your debtors you have to look at the opportunity cost of those funds. The $ tied up in your debtors is money that you could have used to pay your Credit Card, mortgage, or even earn interest in YOUR bank account. Do not be a bank for your suppliers - and if you are, act like a bank and charge interest... include this in your price. You have been financing this money.

Quick tips!

Improve your business cash flow by:

1. Make your customers pay upfront (either a deposit or in full)
2. Make recurring customers pay via regular direct debit, so they cannot forget to make a payment.
3. Provide an incentive for paying on time but make sure this is factored into your pricing.
