S4E13: New Trail Brewery I Love My State Parks | Buy Now, Pay Later: The Good, the Bad, & the Truth
Cash Flow with Pam Prior
05/28/24 • 23 min
Disclaimer: The information in this video does not constitute Financial Advice. Consult with a Financial Advisor before making any decisions regarding your finances.
We start things off with a hazy IPA from New Trail Brewery. It’s got those citrusy, hoppy notes that make it a must-try for craft beer lovers. Trust me, it’s a sip worth savoring. Next, we're shifting gears to something you’ve probably seen everywhere: "Buy Now, Pay Later" plans. They’re tempting, but are they worth it? And for all you business owners, especially those in service industries, offering payment plans can be a double-edged sword. I'll share tips on how to protect your business while still giving your clients the flexibility they crave.
✨ 5 Key Lessons:
- Buy now, pay later plans can be tempting for buyers due to interest-free payment options, but borrowers should beware of the negative impact on credit scores and hefty late fees.
- Monitoring payment plans in service-based businesses is crucial to avoid cash flow risks, especially during uncertain economic times.
- Collecting most of the payment before delivering a service can protect businesses from financial instability caused by client non-payments.
- Avoid paying commissions based on client contracts until the cash is collected to prevent financial losses for salespeople and businesses.
- Disputes arising from payment plans can negatively impact businesses by leading to red flags with payment processors, affecting cash flow and business operations.
