Keeping positive cash flow is really important for a small business.

If you’re struggling with late payments, and around half small businesses are, here are some simple strategies to use. ↙

Your customer can’t pay until you’ve invoiced them, so make sure you send your bill promptly. Customers are also more open to paying when they’ve just received the goods or services that you delivered. Cash in on the goodwill, there’s no reason to delay.
