Getting paid faster - how to improve your business cash flow

Written by Per Gustafsson | Feb 5, 2026 2:54:38 PM

As a small business owner, your time and energy are your company's most important resources. But to be able to focus on what you do best, you need to make sure the money comes into your account when it should. Getting paid faster isn't just about numbers on a piece of paper, it's about creating a sustainable everyday life where you don't have to worry about cash flow.

Why is it important to get paid on time?

Getting paid on time is crucial for your business to grow, pay its own bills and have financial security. When payments are delayed, it creates unnecessary stress and an administrative burden that takes focus away from your core business. By optimizing your invoicing routines, you create the conditions for a more stable economy and a more sustainable everyday life for both you and your employees.
How can I get paid faster?
You can get paid faster by switching from manual invoice processing to digital e-invoices. Here are the main benefits of choosing a modern solution:
  • No manual handling: No more printing, mailing or worrying about PDF invoices getting caught in spam filters.
  • Correct information instantly: e-invoices are automatically validated, reducing the risk of the customer rejecting an invoice due to incorrect information.
  • Faster distribution route: the invoice reaches the recipient's financial system almost immediately via networks like Peppol.
  • Increased security: digital invoices reduce the risk of fraudulent invoices and insecure handling.


How do I avoid chasing late payments myself?

The most time-consuming part of late payments is often the follow-up itself. By using an automated reminder service, you don't have to act as an "ATM" for your customers or sit through uncomfortable phone calls about unpaid invoices. The system handles the reminder for you, allowing you to get paid faster while maintaining a good relationship with your customer.
