Cash Flow Finance

Late payments affecting your small business? Keep control of your cash flow with a loan from Fleximize

Poor cash flow is one of the main reasons that small businesses fail, with late payments identified as the primary challenge. According to the British Business Bank, 89% of SMEs who sought finance in 2020 did so due to the Covid-19 pandemic. And, for three-quarters of those companies, cash flow was the root cause of their problems.

As a business owner, you’ll know that it’s a constant battle to maintain a healthy cash flow. While there are strategies you can implement, cash reserves are regularly impacted by factors beyond your control. For SMEs tackling late payments, rising overheads, and unexpected tax bills, working capital may need to be sourced externally. Traditional lenders can seem an attractive option, but their strict eligibility criteria often makes life difficult for small businesses. In such cases, alternative financing can prove the perfect solution.

Digital lender Fleximize offers flexible cash flow loans that can be tailored to suit the needs of you and your business. Read on to find out more about how they work, what they can be used for and how to apply. 

What are business cash flow loans?

If your business struggles with late payments, cash flow finance can provide the working capital you need to grow until your customers’ funds are transferred. There’s only so much you can do to ensure you get paid on time, which can sometimes leave you short of cash when you need to purchase stock, repair vital machinery, or settle accounts with your own creditors.  

A bank overdraft may provide a helpful buffer in the short term. However, it can only offer funds up to a set amount which may not cover the combined value of your late payments. Moreover, going overdrawn is extremely expensive due to the hefty interest rates, and arranging a facility with a bank can be very time-consuming. That won’t suit you if your business needs a fast, affordable solution – such as a cash flow loan from Fleximize.
