Maintaining Confidentiality and Streamlining Cash Flow with Guardhouse and APositive
The Challenge
A client in the security industry utilising Guardhouse for operational management, faced a common challenge: managing cash flow amidst potentially their slow-paying clients. This client had previously explored invoice funding options but encountered issues with confidentiality requirements, unreasonable security demands, and cumbersome processes. A critical concern for the client was maintaining the discretion of any funding arrangement, as he had learned firsthand that clients aware of invoice funding might delay payments.
Prior to APositive, he had negative experiences with other providers. One demanded unnecessary securities across his other businesses and then insisted on disclosing the funding facility, directly contradicting his confidentiality needs. Another offered a seemingly easy online connection but lacked the personal interaction that he preferred.
The Solution
The client engaged with Guardhouse to understand more about Guardhouse Funding powered by APositive. Guardhouse has partnered with APositive to offer integrated invoice funding, giving security businesses faster access to funds, reduced admin burdens, and flexible, scalable funding options.
