Small business finance is all about maintaining healthy cash flow. However, small business owners face constant challenges to cash flow. These can include seasonal fluctuations, unexpected orders, product returns, customer disputes and delinquencies, unplanned expenses, vendor price increases, taxes, regulations, etc.
Unfortunately for the small business owner, most customers want to wait 30-60 days to pay, while most suppliers want to be paid immediately. This is especially true when the small business is new and credit is not yet established. This “cash flow gap” is a major reason to secure some form of small business finance.
For business-to-business (B2B) companies, it’s a good idea to have a backup source of accounts receivable financing that can turn outstanding invoices into cash when needed.
