The Real Cost of Late Payments for Small & Medium Businesses

You’ve done the work but your money’s still waiting.
Every small business owner knows the feeling: invoices sent, silence received.
Late payments aren’t just inconvenient they block your growth, strain cash flow, and waste hours you’ll never get back.
According to QuickBooks, 61% of small businesses face cash-flow issues caused by overdue payments.
And together, U.S. SMBs are owed over $900 billion (Fundbox, 2023).
That’s not just a number it’s your working capital, locked away.
