YOUR CASH CRISIS IS COSTING YOU $1M/YEAR (AND YOU DON'T REALIZE IT)

You have revenue.

But you don't have cash.

You're profitable on paper.

But your bank account is empty.

Last month:

- You invoiced $500K

- You made a £200K profit

- But you had to take a $100K line of credit to make payroll

This is the cash crisis.

It kills businesses faster than anything else.

THE REAL PROBLEM

You think you're profitable.

But cash flow says something different.

Why? Because:

- Customers take 60-90 days to pay

- You pay suppliers in 30 days

- You have to make payroll every 2 weeks

- Gap = cash crisis

For a $5M company:

- Average receivables: $400K-$600K

- You're essentially financing your customers

- Your bank account suffers

- You lose $50K-$200K/year in interest on lines of credit

- You miss growth opportunities (no cash for investments)

- You can't weather downturns (no buffer)

THE IMMEDIATE SOLUTION: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE OUTSOURCING

Service handles:

- Customer invoicing (on time, accurate)

- Payment collection (aggressive, professional)

- Customer disputes (resolution)

- Payment terms optimization (get paid faster)

- Cash forecasting (weekly visibility)

Cost: $1,500-$3,500/month

Result:

- Collect 20-30 days faster

- Free up $100K-$300K in cash

- Eliminate $20K-$50K/year in interest costs

- Improve cash flow dramatically

- Sleep at night (no more panic about payroll)

REAL EXAMPLE: $5M COMPANY

Current situation:

- Revenue: $5M/year

- Average customer payment time: 60 days

- Outstanding receivables: $500K

- Line of credit needed: $150K

- Interest cost: $25K/year

- Stress level: HIGH

With AR outsourcing ($2,500/month = $30K/year):

- Revenue: $5M/year

- Average customer payment time: 35 days (25 days improvement)

- Outstanding receivables: $300K

- Line of credit needed: $50K (elimination of $100K credit line)

- Interest cost: $8K/year (saves $17K)

- Service cost: $30K/year

- Net benefit: $17K savings + peace of mind

Year 1 result: Break-even on cost, plus:

- $100K cash freed

- No more credit line stress

- Better growth position
