Why Kiwi Business Owners Need to Take Action
Did you know?
In New Zealand, 43% of small businesses experience late payments, causing major cash flow stress.
Over 60% of business failures are linked to not getting paid on time.
On average, unpaid invoices cost small businesses thousands in lost revenue each year.
Partnering with one of New Zealand’s longest-standing leaders in best practice credit management, I’ve seen it all—businesses doing everything right, but still getting caught short because they weren’t getting paid on time. It’s not fair, and it’s not sustainable.
But here’s the good news: with the right tools, support, and systems in place, you can take back control.
This is why getting paid on time isn’t just nice to have—it’s critical for survival and growth.

FAQs
What if I’m not dealing with overdue invoices right now?
That’s great—let’s keep it that way. The only thing worse than constantly chasing payments is being blindsided when you thought everything was sweet. One slow payer, one unexpected liquidation, one job that drags out longer than expected... and boom—cashflow chaos. Putting smart systems in place now means you’re ready before things go sideways. It’s not about going overboard—it’s about peace of mind.
I’m just a small business—do I really need all this?
Yes. In fact, especially if you’re a small business. You’re the one most at risk when a client doesn’t pay. Big companies have legal teams and cash reserves. You’ve got bills, staff to pay, and maybe your own mortgage on the line. Putting the right tools in place means protecting what you've built and making sure you’re not working for free.
Isn’t chasing payments just part of doing business?
It shouldn’t be. You didn’t go into business to become a part-time debt collector. With the right structure in place—clear terms, upfront conversations, and backup when you need it—you can ditch the stress and get back to doing what you do best. No more chasing. No more crossed fingers. Just cashflow that actually flows.
