Look, we know invoicing might not be the most exciting part of running your business. It is, however, one of the most important.
Without a clear, efficient invoicing system in place, you risk late payments, disrupted cash flow, and losing valuable time. And as Benjamin Franklin famously said, “Time is Money!”
Choosing the right invoicing platform can change all that – giving you back time to grow your business while improving cash flow and client relationships.
Why Invoicing Matters More Than You Think
For freelancers and small businesses, managing invoices can feel like an endless game of catch-up. With an outdated (or even manual system), you’re spending hours chasing payments, tracking down missing details, or re-sending invoices that got lost along the way.
According to a survey, 43% of UK SMEs report that their invoices are paid late, causing serious cash flow problems that can stifle growth (Accountex).
With the right invoicing platform, you can streamline the entire process. No more chasing payments or waiting months for invoices to clear. We might be a tiny bit biased, but we think Payment Bear is the best when it comes to helping businesses cut down on manual invoicing tasks and giving them more time to focus on growth.
The Cost of Chasing Late Payments
Late payments aren’t just annoying—they cost your business money. On average, *UK SMEs are owed a staggering £96,772 in late payments *(
Like most other business owners, you're probably spending way, way too much time trying to track down that money you're owed. Whilst we're on this... Did you know that *SMEs spend around 13 hours each month chasing late payments? That’s 13 hours you could spend on delivering great work, growing your client base, or even just enjoying some well-earned downtime. *(Aldermore bank)
With automated invoicing, reminders, and clear payment options, Payment Bear eliminates the hassle of chasing invoices, helping you get paid faster without awkward (and sometimes angry) follow-up emails.
Automate to Save Time and Boost Growth
As we’ve said, time is money—and this is especially true for freelancers and small businesses and SMEs. Payment Bear makes invoicing simple, giving you back hours in your week by automating the entire invoicing process. From setting up recurring invoices to sending payment reminders, everything is handled automatically, so you can focus on what you do best—growing your business.
Building Stronger Client Relationships with Simplicity
Yes, clients appreciate good work, but know what else they appreciate? Simplicity and transparency. A clean, professional invoice not only helps you get paid faster but also strengthens your relationships with clients. Payment Bear offers customisable invoices that reflect your brand and ensure your clients know exactly what they’re paying for. Plus, our automated reminders help avoid awkward conversations about overdue payments.
Flexible Payment Options Keep Cash Flow Strong
Look, sometimes your client has their own cash flow problems to deal with... but their problem then becomes your problem (and on goes this vicious cycle!) Our flexible payment options mean your clients can pay how and when they need to, for example, if they pay half what they owe now, and half later, our platform facilitates that! All with the aim of helping keep your cash flow... well, flowing! By providing multiple payment options and integrating secure, fee-free transactions directly into your invoices, Payment Bear ensures you’re always top of mind when it comes to getting paid (a partial payment is better than nothing after all!)
Grow Without the Headache
The right invoicing platform does more than save you time—it can help your business thrive. With better cash flow, fewer late payments, and stronger client relationships, you’re free to grow your business on your terms.
