The Key to Making It Big, in the Big Leagues
Every new business has the potential to make it big. With the country’s startup and freelancer ecosystems continuing to thrive thanks to modern tech, you can achieve business growth in no time. However, it often depends on which tech partner you choose to go with for your various business processes, especially when it comes to your finances.
While there are still some micro, small to medium enterprises (MSMEs) who may be quick to call out expense and security as the main factors keeping them away from doing their business banking via third-party vendors, you can also find integrated platforms that make financial management easier through digital tools. This helps you get rid of problems that lead to delayed payments, penalties, and wasted work hours.
With fintech becoming more essential in today’s business regardless of scale, here’s a list of how the technology can help your small business take off by addressing your most pressing banking needs.
1. Ease of Tracking Payments and Collections
Small business payments can get a bit too toxic when you are handling them manually. With bills and dues from vendors, distributors, service providers, and employees coming in from all directions, you’ll need a platform that will allow you and your business partners to rest easy when it comes to getting payments on time and without hitches.
Be it for renting, contractual payments, and advertising budgets, today’s small business banking platforms can now help you track every cent that goes in and out of your business. Being able to manage corresponding invoices effectively to make your auditing tasks a walk in the park.
2. Smoother Payment Processes
Handling payments manually can be a nightmare for most small businesses. Oftentimes, late payments can occur due to the lack of available manpower to go to and from the bank for deposits and withdrawals, not to mention the entailing costs to carry them out. You also run the risk of losing or unintentionally crumpling cheques. Those are just a few of the many ways you can waste time and money by handling your payments manually.
Thanks to modern banking platforms for small businesses that are more intuitive, you enjoy a smoother transaction flow without asking anyone to run to the bank and queue in line. We at NextPay can guide you in setting up your assigned rules on authorization, scheduling, and disbursement. We help ensure you send accurate invoices so you don’t get hassled by payment errors or delays.
3. A More Streamlined Accounts Payable Workflow
We know practice makes perfect but if you have never mixed up your numbers while doing some manual accounting then cheers to you! Balancing ledgers can oftentimes lead to a couple of missing ‘ones’ and ‘zeros’ that you’ll have to do everything all over again (which is kind of exasperating especially if you are running late for your date night with the SO).
When you switch to today’s digital channels, you can ensure that your accounts are secure and always accessible.
