Accounts payables procedures

accountant37004762.jpg At the successful end of any business is a strong accounts payables and accounts receivables procedure. You need to be able to set up accounts payables in a manner that is easy for you to actually adhere to. Not all of the vendors out there are willing to negotiate better payment terms and many of them are not willing to extend payment terms so you must be able to collect the funds from your customers in a timely manner in order to actually have the money to pay your bills on time.

What are the benefits to a strong accounts payable procedure and system? Here are some of the many benefits you will be able to expect:

  • Proper management of accounts payable will help you to provide extra working capital to your customers in order to bring in more sales. You will of course need to implement a strong accounts receivables process in order to collect the money that you are lending out.

  • Young businesses have a long road to take in order to establish business credit and to get loans and other things. When you have good relationships with your vendors and you are working to pay on time, it will help to provide you with a good credit rating. Timely payments and working out stronger payment procedures and arrangements with vendors is a great way to build healthier relationships with them and this will be able to not only build your credit but it will also aid in helping you to get products you need in a timely manner as vendors are likely to work harder for you. Good credit will also help you to attract other vendors that can really improve and strengthen your business.

  • If you are paying on time and you have a great accounts payable process you will have other suppliers that are able to help you out. Even if you haven't used them before, they will help because you don't have bad credit and you can really show other that you have financial discipline.

  • With stronger credit ratings you have all the power when it comes to buying products. Since you do have the ability to pay on time you can negotiate with vendors for lower prices and it will be much easier for you to convince lenders why they need to do business with you. Having this type of advantage in your industry will help you set yourself apart from your competition as you have all the vendors on your side.

  • When it comes time to acquire loans to expand your business you will be able to do this by asking your vendors and other suppliers to provide you with credit references. Thanks to your great relationships with them and the ability you have to pay on time, they will gladly offer a nice recommendation for you, allowing you to get the loan you need.

So how can you get to this level and strengthen your business? It comes down to using a number of different things that will allow you to change your business performance and to work hard on tracking things that have a direct impact on your accounts payable. Some of the areas where you need to work with differently include purchase orders and your process times. By working with your vendors to adjust your payable dates, it can give you just a few more days to get your customers to pay. This way you won't end up struggling to pay your bills on time as the money is already in your accounts and ready to go out.
