IBN Technologies, a prominent outsourcing service provider in the UK, has recognised the financial challenge small businesses face with late payments. Research reveals that small businesses spend a collective £684 million each year to recover payments that are overdue. To tackle this issue, the organisation is underscoring the strategic outsourcing of Accounts Receivables (AR) Management as a cost-effective financial management solution.

Recent analyses show that small businesses experience delays in payments, with an average of 5.8 days overdue. This trend has a significant impact on business operations and acts as a barrier to seizing growth opportunities.

“The numbers reveal the acute challenge that late payments pose for small business owners,” says Ajay Mehta, CEO of IBN Technologies. “The domino effect of such delays can be damaging, impacting operational efficiency, cash flow, and even customer relationships.”

A report by the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) found that around 52% of small businesses in the UK experience payment delays. Xero’s research shows that half of the invoices issued by small businesses are paid late, with 12% of them paid over a month after their due date. The FSB’s report also highlights the current lack of protection for small businesses from late payers.

IBN Technologies believes that strategic outsourcing of Accounts Receivables (AR) Management is a solution to the late payments problem. This approach enables businesses to focus on their core strengths and grow, rather than worrying about collecting payments. The organisation provides tailored, industry-specific AR solutions to sectors ranging from education and construction to administration and IT.

IBN Technologies’ Quote-to-Cash (Q2C) solution is a comprehensive framework that streamlines every aspect of financial flow, from quoting and order processing to invoicing and cash application. This integrated approach culminates in better credit and collections management, ensuring a smoother and more reliable financial cycle.

The company also provides Record-to-Report (R2R) services to empower businesses with financial clarity. Through meticulous risk management, budgeting, forecasting, management reporting, and general accounting and reconciliation, IBN Technologies enables businesses to navigate complexities with confidence.

Additionally, AR Automation Solutions leverage cutting-edge technology to automate the AR process, effectively streamlining operations and accelerating the payment collection cycle.
