Closing the door on late payments

Late payers can cause a great deal of distress to businesses of all sizes, but it is SMEs that can be hardest hit. Late payment adds a layer of uncertainty to trading and can cause the kind of cash flow crisis that we could all do without. Research from the Asset Based Finance Association (ABFA) found that clients of small companies take on average 72 days to pay an invoice, with micro-business owners waiting six weeks longer to be paid than larger firms.

Our client, supplying window closures for aluminium doors, came across this issue with several large orders.  The lack of monies received meant that they could not buy the stock they continuously required.  When they approached us for funding, they needed cashflow for an order they needed to fill within 2 weeks.  Within 3 years of starting their facility, they trebled their turnover and have moved to bigger premises.
