Business Tips to Help You Get Ahead of the Competition

My name is Joshua Lewis. I'm from Dorks Delivered, and I’ve got another company called Business Efficiency Experts. Business Efficiency Experts has been around for about five years, and Dorks Delivered for 12 years, so we've been going around for quite a bit.

How Late Invoice Payment Impacts Small Businesses

How does the late payment of invoices impact small businesses? Now we've all been there. You've been in business for a while and someone starts paying invoices late. Everything's all good to start off with, and then they start paying things late. What's worse is if you'd have to go out and buy a product to allow for it to be sold.
