When selling your goods and services to another business, it's wise for both parties to sign a legally-binding agreement. This agreement will set expectations for both parties as well as provide proof of the arrangement if one of the parties doesn't come through. A contract is an invaluable record that you and your business client are willingly working together.

Businesses have had to run leaner in recent years - something that startups know all about. A lean business is one that maximizes value with its resources and minimizes waste. People, money, and time are the most valuable resources in organizations. Maximizing time saves money and encourages your workforce to feel as if they're giving their best to their jobs.

In simple terms, accounts receivable management is the means for collecting money that is owed after extending credit for or agreeing to provide goods and services. During downturns in the economy or when otherwise strapped for cash, businesses typically have working capital trapped in receivables that are unpaid or not paid on time.
The process of collecting what's due from customers can go by several names. Accounts receivable, receivables, A/R, accounts receivable collections, debt collections, and more.
(Not to be confused with accounts payable, which is a different part altogether.)
Many of these terms are not interchangeable but actually define different levels or areas of the process of collecting payments.
