One of the biggest drains on the cash flow of small businesses is the slow collection of accounts receivable. In cases where accounts receivable are out of control, you can bet that cash flow is out of control as well. I don't know about you, but the folks I have to pay are not very concerned with whether or not I am getting paid in a timely manner. They want their money.

They work harder than everyone else, do what they say they are going to do and get the job done for all the rest of us; God Bless the Small Business men and women of this great nation.

There clearly is a problem here... but where there is a problem, there is always an opportunity.
