11 strategies and templates to improve your invoicing and collections process
Struggling with cash flow? You're not alone.
82% of business failures are down to problems with cash flow (US Bank), and 8 out of 10 entrepreneurs who start businesses fail within the first 18 months of trading, with cash flow issues cited as the main reason for failure (Hiscox and Bloomberg)
Late payments are one of the main reasons for cash flow problems in SMEs. In the UK alone, 50,000 businesses fail each year due to late payments and their negative impact on cash flow (FSB).
