What's New with QuickBooks Online: Get Paid Upfront

More than 60% of small business owners say they’ve experienced cash flow challenges, according to Intuit. The majority of small business owners that experience those issues (89%) say cash flow challenges in QB Online had a negative impact on their business. More than a quarter (27%) have said not getting paid according to the agreed upon payment terms is a primary contributor to their problems with cash flow.

Long payment terms and unpaid invoices could lead to cash flow shortages when you need to do things like pay bills and vendors. When cash runs low, you might have limited options to get the money you need. And a long-term business loan might not be the optimal solution for your immediate cash flow needs. So if cash flow is a recurring issue, traditional loan options may be limited.

In an ideal world, you would get paid upfront for every invoice and avoid stressful cash flow shortages. In our real world, you can request Get Paid Upfront—a new invoice financing tool available through QuickBooks!
