But firstly, why should small businesses even worry about the effect of unpaid invoices?
Small businesses constantly struggle with late payment, especially when their customers are larger corporations. After all, the power imbalance can be difficult to navigate for many small business owners. According to new research from Barclays, three in five (58 per cent) small or medium enterprises (SMEs) are currently waiting on late payments from customers. This can massively impact cashflow. In fact, 440,000 businesses are predicted to close this year due to cashflow issues resulting from late payment.
So, it’s clear that small businesses are at risk from unpaid invoices, and that the way to tackle this is by using a consistent credit management software to ensure that the situation doesn’t become livelihood-threatening.
Let’s take a look at the reasons why small businesses trust itsettled’s credit control software with their invoices.
Firstly, many small businesses don’t employ a credit controller. They may have a small one or two person finance team at best, and therefore they need to be able to rely on their credit control solution. That’s where itsettled comes into play. Built on itsettled CEO’s near three decades experience within the industry, our credit control software has collected over £420million for 1,600 UK SMEs.
