When you own a small business, there are all kinds of
demands on your time and energy. The most important things you can be doing
with your time include:
l Product
development
l Marketing
l Raising
capital
All of these are things that are going to make your business
more successful and more profitable and to enable it to keep right on growing
and thriving.
Unfortunately, though, these all-important things aren’t the
only things you have to get done on a day-to-day basis. You also, if you are
going to survive, have to think about collections, which garner money you
otherwise miss out on.
One of the best things you can do for your business and for
yourself is to outsource your accounts receivables. This will save you so much
time- time you can devote to improving your business as a whole.
When you outsource your accounts receivable, all of the
following are things you no longer have to take care of in-house:
l Creating
and mailing statements
l Following
up on unpaid statements
l Sending
unpaid statements to collections
l Seeing
the collections process through
Furthermore, outsourcing enables you to gather statistics
related to your clients, their payments, and more...all of which can help you
to make smart decisions about how to proceed in the future. You could do
that yourself, but it would take up even more of your valuable time.
Perhaps most importantly, outsourcing can also give you
access to the money that you are owed much sooner! This can lead to you having
more capital, which you can use to expand or just to get back in the black,
depending on how things are going right now.
You can even have your outsourcing companies perform
extensive credit checks on all potential clients, protecting you from doing
business with those who are more likely to cost you money than to make you
money.
If you’re convinced of the benefits of outsourcing (and you
really should be!), the next step is simply to find a good, reliable AR outsourcing company to work with. The sooner you do that, the sooner you can
start enjoying these awesome benefits.
I agree and your bullet points are making it more comprehensible. Choosing to outsource your accounts receivables free you up time and the time freed could be used on more important matters.
