There are a few ways to increase the speed of A/R collection. One way is to use the standard "payment due when services are rendered". That means payment on the spot before they leave your business. Most people will abide by that unless you are talking about high-end items or account balances. Another way is to accept credit cards or debit cards. Here again, you can get immediate payment on balances, but you'll need to use a merchant service to process the card transactions and you should shop around to find the best rates and customer support. Ask business associates who they use and whether or not they are pleased with the service.

It is also possible to set up automated payment plans. You get to set the amount per payment and know that you'll get the money on the agreed upon day. One such service can be found at bettercashflownow.com. They also offer checks by phone service which allows you to get a payment without the customer having to put that check in the mail. Such services are safe and secure and guarantee you get paid quickly and efficiently.
