For the longest time, businesses of all types have been issuing invoices with staggered payment schedules. This courtesy gives clients a period of 30, 60, or even 90 days to pay for goods and services received from businesses so as not to place a strain on finances, especially for large orders. However, the business landscape has changed over the decades, and commerce takes place at a much faster rate than ever before. Apart from banking, weekends mean less and less in the business world, and our constant connection via the internet and mobile devices have us closing deals and making sales with the swipe of a finger. So why should your business still have to wait a month or longer to receive payments on aging receivables?

Short-Term Business Loans

When businesses need working capital to smooth out finances or to take advantage of time-sensitive business opportunities, many opt for short-term business loans.

Access to Capital

Access to capital is essential to every business. No one wants to wait weeks or months to get the funding they need. A merchant cash advance can take upwards of 10 business days for approval and funding. Accounts receivable factoring provides cash within 24 hours on submitted invoices.

No one likes to owe anyone anything. Business owners sometimes owe debt to banks, which can eat into revenue and impact credit ratings, but that can easily be solved with factoring services. However, when a business has a liability owed to the IRS, the repercussions can be more severe, which is why it is important to get out in front of IRS liabilities.

At the core, a business gains IRS liabilities when taxes aren’t paid. These taxes could range from filing yearly taxes for the business owner or company to the quarterly 941 taxes which take into account unemployment taxes and more. The first step is to send a notification to the business of liabilities.
