Market Motivation

The psychology of the buyer

Because running out of cash is the #1 reason businesses die.

A business owner can have $100k in invoices waiting to be paid but still be unable to pay rent today. The stress of 'floating' expenses is overwhelming. They will happily pay for clarity, better payment terms, and a system that ensures money is in the bank when bills are due.
