A lot of businesses have had to adapt their model to survive the Covid-19 crisis, with some quickly diversifying their offer or becoming much more agile in how they delivered it.

There has also been a period of enforced reflection for a lot of business owners who have had time to really think about how they structure their company and what they can do to drive their business forward and navigate a way back to being profitable.

Streamlining and being more productive in all operations has been a big focus, with employers no

w understanding that flexibility is key. Home working and virtual meetings have been the norm and have left people realising that a lot of time that was spent in physical meetings may not actually be a productive use of staff time.

Time is a valuable resource to any business owner. Ensuring that their, and their staff’s, time is used as productively as possible is key to being more profitable. Along with time, another crucial component of the success of a business is cash flow, and this is where valuable time can be lost to a lot of businesses.

All businesses rely on being paid for goods or services provided. This is what generates profit and keeps a businesses’ cash flow healthy allowing it to pay staff, expand product lines or services and invest in the future growth of the company. However, this transaction is not always as straightforward as it should be.

The time spent chasing late payment is cited as the biggest obstacle facing business clients and not having the resources available to recover money owed is one of the most common reasons given for failures.

Chasing customers for late invoices is time-consuming and stressful with some business owners resigning themselves to writing off the money owed as a bad debt. Other businesses ask staff members to chase late payments, often with little or no training and this can also be a waste of time.

As we move forward into the ‘new normal’ using the same methods that have cost you time and money to chase up invoices doesn’t make financial sense. Partnering with an expert in the field who has the time and resources to fully understand your credit management issues, and who can analyse your situation to find the most effective and appropriate solution is a good way to adapt, streamline and drive your business forward.
