The blood of any business is its cash flow. You can have large sales, repeat clients, and fantastic merchandise but when there is a delay of days to receive payments then it will slow all the others.
The effect of delay in settlement is not taken seriously by many business owners. The three or four days it may take your account to receive card payments may not seem much; however, in the long term, it can hamper growth, slow down supplier payments, and put your financial stranglehold on your neck unnecessarily.
The lag in payment in getting money causes the business owners to cover the gap by using credit or overdrafts. This causes unnecessary expenses and pressure particularly in sectors such as hospitality and retail where the margin is low.
On the other hand, fast settlements enhance cash flow. The quicker the cash comes, the quicker you can invest back in it, it could be getting in new stock, paying employees or capitalising on a new opportunity.
The new-day settlements are turning to be the new gold standard of the business. They eliminate uncertainty, and you are able to control you money and you can plan better. In the case of small and emerging firms, that dependability can be life changing.
Taking cards is no longer the only form of payment system. They are now able to be combined with EPOS software so that business owners only need to view the sales, stock and employees. Having real-time reporting and data right on your fingertips, you are in a better position to make smart financial decisions.
And not only about speed is it also about resilience. The most appropriate systems are SIM and mobile data, which will maintain business activities even when the Wi-Fi fails. At least, that reliability provides the peace of mind to the owners and customers.
Clarity is also another key aspect. Most of them offer cheap prices but conceal expenses in the terms and conditions. Clear pricing means that you will never be caught off guard at the end of a month because you are sure of what you are paying.
Companies can do with improvement - higher pay rates, less complicated instruments, and total visibly.
This is why IPOSG Payments provides next day settlement prior to 10AM, reduced clear rates, and one and integrated platform to operate EPOS and payments with ease. Trustworthy, open, business-oriented - to enable you work on growing, not guessing.
