Are you nervous about paying employees and paying suppliers on time? Are you waiting from 30 to 90 days after completing a job in order to get paid by the general contractor or your client? If you are a subcontractor working on a project, then you could qualify for something called construction factoring.

It may be even more of a challenge if your business is new and does not yet have much operating cash. Few people can afford to wait 90 days to be paid, and even fewer can qualify for a loan due to the tightening of the credit markets.

However, suppliers and small to mid-sized subcontractors can get their invoices paid in as little as two days, using a tool called construction factoring.This means you will have predictable cash flow.Compared to bank financing, construction factoring is easy to set up and obtain.Furthermore, few of them can really qualify for a business loan.

This is because the traditional way of bookkeeping relied on a bookkeeper to do the manual task of keeping the books in hard copies. The flaws with the old way of bookkeeping (that is employing bookkeepers to do manual tasks) are:

• has the tendency to make mistakes

• may have the tendency to delay reports necessary for business decisions

• spend considerable amount for cost of hiring and employing
