Direct Debit for franchises

"The method you use to collect payments and monthly fees will make a big difference on your time, resources and finances."

Successful franchises are built on the concept of maximising the efficiency of every part of the business to help each franchisee to be as efficient and profitable as possible.
This is never more important than in the collection of funds from Business Members and their customers and as a franchise owner, or a franchisee, the method you use to collect regular payments and monthly fees will make a big difference on your time, resources and finances.
Direct Debit guarantees income dates and improves cash flow. It’s reliable, it’s secure and it puts you in control.
Since its inception Eazipay has been working with some of the biggest, and fastest growing, franchise networks in the UK.

Business Exhibition at Earls Court

Lu and I recently went down to Earls Court for the Business Exhibition. We were reminded that it was snowing when we went last year. Maybe that was one reason the show felt better last year than this year, it was quieter, and only the truly dedicated went!  This year it was very very busy. But also we felt that it was very repetitive this year, there were dozens of web designers. Everywhere you turned someone was shoving a leaflet about getting your website designed etc. or trying to get you to sign up to some Accountants.

If we go next year it would be good to see more variety in the stands. There are so many types of business services we need these days, it would be great to see more there.

One stand Lu did like was Regus, but only because she could make herself a Reg. You can see what these things are by clicking https://www.facebook.com/regus.workyourway

Late payments reach record levels

This is a press release that we sent out. It was covered in several places, but because it is so serious, it is worth saying again...

According to figures released by payment company Bacs, the amount of money owed to small firms has reached a record three year high with the cash owed to companies by their customers standing at a staggering £33.6 billion – an increase of 10 per cent on last year’s record figure.
“Just when we were hoping it wouldn’t get any worse for small companies, it just has,” says Luisa Grey, Director of Eazipay, one of the UK’s leading Direct Debit processing companies, adding: “It seems that the worst culprits are large organisations who are keeping their creditors waiting an average of 28 days longer than their payment terms before their invoices are settled.
“The financial pressure coupled with the emotional stress can become intolerable with small companies being forced to slash their overheads in order to stay afloat – even though there is nothing fundamentally wrong with their businesses. It’s a reaction brought about purely by being paid late.”
According to the data, SMEs are owed around £39,000 each and some are being kept waiting as long as two months before being paid which not only impacts on vital cash flow buy makes business planning a near impossibility.
“The issue of late payments coupled with the banks’ reluctance to open their vaults means that small companies – which really are the lifeblood of the economy – are being squeezed unfairly, especially at a time of national and international economic uncertainty”, adds Luisa.
