The Hidden Cost of Slow Payments – And How to Fix It

In business, cash flow is king—yet many companies struggle to maintain a steady stream of working capital, not because they aren’t making sales, but because they’re waiting too long to get paid. Whether you’re a startup or an established company, slow payments can create a domino effect that holds your business back.

So, what’s the true cost of delayed payments? And more importantly—how can you fix it?

The Real Cost of Waiting for Payments

Many businesses operate on net-30, net-60, or even net-90 terms, meaning they don’t see their money for months after completing a job. Here’s how that delay impacts your business:

1. Stalled Growth

You have opportunities to expand, take on new clients, or invest in better equipment—but without cash on hand, you’re stuck waiting.

2. Payroll Pressure

Employees and contractors expect their paychecks on time, but if your cash is tied up in unpaid invoices, payroll stress becomes a recurring issue.

3. Inventory & Supply Chain Delays

Without available funds, you might struggle to restock inventory, pay suppliers, or fulfill larger orders—costing you potential sales.

4. High-Interest Loans as a Quick Fix

Some businesses resort to high-interest loans or credit cards just to stay afloat, digging themselves into deeper debt.


The Solution: Turning Invoices Into Immediate Cash

Instead of waiting weeks or months for payment, invoice factoring gives you access to immediate cash based on outstanding invoices. Here’s how it works:

✅ You sell your unpaid invoices to a factoring company (like Bridgeport Capital)
✅ You receive a large percentage of the invoice upfront—typically within 24 hours
✅ The factoring company collects the payment from your customers
✅ Once paid, you receive the remaining balance minus a small factoring fee

Unlike traditional loans, invoice factoring isn’t debt—you’re simply unlocking the money you’ve already earned.
