Suffering Poor Cash Flow? How to Get Paid Faster!

Too many small businesses suffer from cash flow problems, which is why our Small Business Management Course covers financial planning and how to monitor and manage your cash flow through debtor management.

However, few small businesses suffer from poor cash flow because they’re unaware of how to manage their debtors properly.

Rather they suffer poor cash flow because they lack the resources to chase late payers or, as in most cases, they don’t have the time to stay on top of their accounts receivables to ensure their clients don’t become late payers in the first place.

Aussie company, ezyCollect, aims to solve this problem for medium sized companies – here’s how.

This was the case for AJ Singh who, after selling a wholesale distribution business he had owned for five years, began to suffer poor cash flow problems with his next venture. After doing a little research, he discovered that over 90 percent of small-to-medium-sized businesses attributed the failure of their business to poor cash flow.

These startling statistics got the cogs in AJ’s brain turning and ultimately resulted in his latest venture: ezyCollect, a web-based software that synchs to your accounting software to manage your account receivables. We spoke to AJ to find out how ezyCollect works and how you could benefit from it.

Q: Can you explain how ezyCollect works?

A: By synching to your accounting software, ezyCollect uses the account information to send real-time, personalised reminders to customers using a variety of different methods (email, mail, fax, sms, etc). ezyCollect also schedules follow-up phone calls, and includes single-click “demand letters”, on demand credit checks and easy debt escalation tools.

Q: How do the functions of ezyCollect differ or improve on the functions already available within accounting software like MYOB?

A: The functions offered by ezyCollect are not offered by MYOB, but as an MYOB partner, the ezyCollect software enhances the value of MYOB as it reduces the labour costs associated with credit management.

Q: What businesses would benefit from using ezyCollect?

A: ezyCollect is great for businesses with a large number of smaller-value invoices, but all SMEs can benefit from using ezyCollect as it is a completely automated, secure cloud-based application. ezyCollect increases your cash flow and your productivity, because you’re not stuck on the phone all day chasing money when you could be out winning new business.
