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).

Without healthy cash flow, you are unable to pay bills, invest in new opportunities, and grow your business effectively. So why continue to suffer with poor late payments and cash flow?
