Unless you have an established accounts department, a challenge for some businesses is how to manage customer payments. It is easy to forget to send invoices or chase payments and this can be catastrophic for cash flow.<\/p>\n

So to avoid getting into problems here are some ways to manage customer payments.<\/p>\n
