When you want to improve the working capital in your company you need to know the following:

    • Stock and inventory: large amounts of inventory will tie up capital which then won’t be directly available for alternative use. A reduction of the stock and inventory may then improve the working capital in the company.
    • Receivables: open receivables also implies tied up capital that cannot be placed freely until each receivable has been regulated. To increase cash flow, for example by charging the customer at delivery rather than 30-90 days later, is one way to improve working capital.
    • Debts: debts and outstanding payments to suppliers, partners and other creditors also play a part. Prolonged own payments and a general lowering of current obligations also contribute to increasing the working capital.

All the items above aren’t as easy to improve when the need appears. Lowering the stock or assets in general are usually easier said than done. For example, it is normally much easier to optimize the company’s own cash flow than reduce stock, inventory and own debts. Then factoring and automation of claims management. Properly used, most companies will benefit from the flexibility, time savings and predictable liquidity that you can achieve through factoring. No matter whether the company is newly started or well established.

Factoring - for secured cash flow and liquidity

As a company you want to be competitive and offer your clients maximum convenience when it comes to payment options. That usually ends in long payment terms between 30 and 90 days being standard terms, rather than advance payments. But these long payment terms can actually create problems and affect your own working capital negatively, especially when the invoice amounts are large.

But there is a solution - pre-financing outstanding invoices with the help of factoring.

Invoice purchasing through factoring means that you sell your outstanding receivables to a factoring partner. The invoiced amount (minus a fee) is then paid out to you immediately. This creates instant liquidity and a possibility to plan your own cash flow in a more efficient way.

Optimizing cash flow with automated processes for claims and reminders

Beyond long payment terms, another complication is that almost half of all invoices are paid too late. This leads not only to liquidity bottlenecks, it can also indirectly cause costs through time consuming administration and reminder handling.

To use an automated solution for invoice handling saves time and ensures that overdue invoices are reliably traced. As a business owner, and especially within a recently started company, it can be uncomfortable to execute reminder processes consistently, as one might be afraid to scare customers off. A professional and automated service can be of great help here.
