GIP16 Budgeting for Landscape Business Owners in our Series on Finance

Part 5 of the Finance Series focuses on three options:

• Payment Processing

• Factoring

• Simple Borrowing

One of the biggest complaints I hear from clients and read about on online landscape forums is getting paid on time. This creates serious problems that negatively affect:

• Meeting payroll.

• Hiring new employees and not add pressure to existing staff.

• Cash or credit to service sales - purchasing materials and supplies.

• Funding marketing and gaining new customers.

Regardless of what options you choose for cash flow improvement or business funding, the one thing that remains critical is repayment of the money within the terms and conditions plus using prudent financial controls within your business.
