Accounts Receivable Financing for Slow-Paying Customers

Slow payments can cause serious financial burdens for your business. Accounts receivable financing can help your business to gain the funds it needs while you wait for customers to pay you. Here’s how accounts receivable financing can help your business.

What Can You Do About Slow-Paying Customers?

Slow-paying customers can be frustrating. There are however some solutions you can try to push your customers into paying you in time. For example, you can try incentivizing early payments. You can do this, by offering a small discount on their next purchase or service with you. 

There are other options available to avoid late payments such as:

• A penalty for late payers such as interest on late fees
• Reminders about payment due and due dates
• Finance charges
• Researching customers thoroughly (with credit checks) before doing business with them
• Revoke customer credit terms

If all else fails, you can report customers to credit bureaus although this is an extreme measure and shouldn’t be done unless the customer is constantly late. Remember the aim is to convince customers to pay their bills on time so you can pay yours – not to lose customers or ruin your reputation.

How Can Accounts Receivable Financing Help Your Business?
