10 Effective Strategies to Reduce Overhead Costs in Small Businesses
Overhead expenses can add up quickly, eating into your profitability and leaving less capital for growth. For Australian small business
Does your business require working capital but you are loathe to take out a business loan which comes with monthly repayments? OptiPay has a solution for you in the form of Invoice Finance.
Working Capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities, which is the amount of liquid assets (cash + debtors) less current expenses. Positive Working Capital means the cash at bank + receivables is greater than the current expenses (payables) of the business. Negative working capital balance means the business owes more than it has in cash available and what it will receive as income in the near future.
Cash at Bank | $100,000 |
Receivables Ledger | $450,000 |
Payables Ledger | $300,000 |
Working Capital | $250,000 |
In the above example, the business has positive Working Capital of $250,000 however the free cash position is only $100,000 as the majority of the Working Capital is locked in the receivables ledger. If there is a timing mismatch between when the debtors pay their invoices and when the creditors need to be paid, the business has a liquidity issue.
This short term liquidity crisis is one that many businesses face, particularly growth companies who need to spend upfront on marketing and opex but the income from that spend may not be received for as long as 90 days later.
OptiPay offers a flexible funding solution which is like a cash flow loan, but without the high fixed interest charges and the usual minimum term.
Typically, you receive up to 90% of your invoice/s value up front, in cash. You then receive the balance of the invoice/s, less the TIM agreed discount fee when your debtor/s pay your invoice/s.
You can get as much as 90% of your total accounts receivable ledger, at any given time. Get in touch with us to find out how much money you could raise today.
