Almost every modern business relies on providing services and products in exchange for money. It is the method of income generation that keeps the business going.
Many businesses rely on receiving cash payments from their customers at the time of service delivery. Take restaurants, barber shops or your local retail store, for instance. These businesses expect payments at the conclusion of services or product exchange.
However, for an increasing number of businesses, payments are delayed and received later. The service provider issues an invoice to the customer at the time of service delivery and payment is received based on pre-agreed terms.
This method of delayed payment is commonly used by freelancers, contractor and SMEs in servicing businesses. It is popular because it gives the customers time to review the level of service and a short-term credit.
Problems for the Service Provider
While the invoice pricing method is beneficial for the customer, it can create a number of problems and financial uncertainty for the vendor.
- Most service providers don’t mind a delay of a few days to a week. However, customers can drag payments out for several weeks. Data shows that average time for receiving invoice payments is up to 60 days.
- Service providers dealing with a large firm may feel helpless as they are passed around from one person to the next in different departments. Many freelancers experience communication problems when dealing with a large client.
- Data also suggests that a large number of invoices are still generated manually with an average cost of $12.90 per invoice. These invoices are also subject to human error.
- Most invoice processing transactions involve money transfer from the client’s bank to the vendor’s bank account. This method has a high cost for both parties, slower processing times and based on centralized platforms which have proven inefficient.
- Lastly, the current system of invoicing requires a certain leap of faith by the service provider. Business insights reveal that up to 70% of new business relationships require the parties to make decisions based on perceived value and unknown risk. This can increase the cost of due diligence for businesses.
