There’s nothing like a general election to make us all think about how we can improve our future prospects – especially when you’re running your own business. Whoever you vote for, at Clear Business we’re championing the small business manifesto for essential business services.
With just 7 days to go until the general election a recent survey of UK SMEs shows that over half are not particularly optimistic about the impact the result will have on their own business.
They highlighted key concerns as:
· Keeping on top of cash flow/cash flow forecasting (53%)
· Expanding into new products or revenue streams (36%)
· Reducing business overheads (35%)
· Getting paid faster (26%)
· Investing in new technology/software (18%)
Here at Clear Business, we can help you tackle some of those items on your ‘worry’ list. As an essential services provider to over 130,000 UK small businesses, we know small businesses well.
Our payment services enable small business owners to accelerate cash flow and turbocharge their business. By managing cash flow effectively, our customers don’t have to wait up to five days for card transactions to reach their bank account. With faster payments, they can have the money where it should be by the next business day, improving overall cash flow management.
Turbocharging cash flow at Comfyland
Comfyland's previous payment terminal only deposited funds weekly, causing cash flow issues for the busy retailer. We provided Ali with an affordable solution that deposits funds within 24 hours. Ali, the owner, says, "Clear Business rates are great, the devices are user-friendly, and it's the fastest way to access customer payments."

Claire, the owner says, "It’s been a great service from start to finish. I thought it would make sense to have it all managed in one place, so I moved more services over to Clear Business."
