Starting a business means thinking big, acting boldly, and exploring new paths. Realizing ideas, delighting customers, and conquering markets – these are at the top of the agenda. Accounts receivable and receivable management? Not really. Especially during the turbulent startup phase, marketing, product development, and sales take priority. Collecting receivables seems cumbersome and bureaucratic – and is therefore often put off.
A costly mistake: A study by the Ruhr University Academy estimates that almost one-third (29 percent) of companies fail due to liquidity problems. Source:
Your business deserves full speed – not outstanding debts.
Sooner or later, invoices remain outstanding – and then what? Suddenly, questions arise that no one wanted to hear before:
- When can I send a reminder?
- How does reminder actually work?
- Who takes care of it?
- How do I prevent payment defaults in advance?
The truth is: Outstanding invoices not only block your money – they also cost energy, focus, and nerves. Especially during the growth phase, startups need a reliable cash flow. Without it, nothing works.
In any case, it's worthwhile to establish your own processes for dunning. Even simple processes help secure liquidity and avoid hassle.
When you should bring professionals on board.
If reminders aren't working or the effort is slowing you down, it's time for support!
