Stop waiting for your money

No matter what industry you’re in, you’re in the business of making money.  But too often, it can feel like you’re in the business of waiting to be paid.

Of course, you’re not just waiting.  You’re figuring out which payments are overdue, following up, following up again, stressing about when the money will arrive, and taking time away from growing your business to collect money you’ve already earned. 

Consider these statistics:

• 93% of business payments are late
• On average, they are 37 days late – that’s more than a month overdue!
• Checks take 3 – 7 days to clear the bank

Before the pandemic, it was estimated that late payments cost small business $3 billion annually.  And various studies show that during the pandemic, payments to small businesses have slowed even further. 

One factor in so many delayed payments is the lag time built into the traditional system for requesting payment and getting paid. It’s time to stop sending paper around and let customers pay digitally with a credit card — it’s faster  and gets you  back to the business of making money instead of collecting it.
