All of us !!! If you find out how to make custys pay on time every time let us all know  ;D
When you get flush you can drop the stuff you don't need to wait for, until then money owed is better than nowt, only just mind, but its still better !!!

august always a bit worse for cashflow due to summer hols but to be honest the bigger the round the larger the debt!as long as you get a fair chunk in youll be ok.you ve just gotta get ahead of yourself financially!as long as the money comes in eventually! ;) ;D ;D

im thinking of online banking.is it better in the majority of cases to those windys who ve been doing it for years??

In any month I always have approx 20% of my income outstanding due to custies being out/not sending cheque etc. I agree with most on here that the 20% would help with my bills etc. But I've been in this business 23 years and never had a 100% money in over a monthly period.

I would be more than happy if I only had 20% owing by the end of the month of turn over thats quite good. as long as debt is not higher than 100% of 28 day turnover I dont worry.

I never collect payments this is why I am owed, its cheque/postal order, standing order and direct bill payments, I dont want to waste my time in the evening doing so, I know others do and fair play, I class my debt as good debt, I just use my time different   ;)
