This put a huge strain on the business he worked for and sadly became a barrier to growth. He vowed to do something about it.
Teaming up with a data scientist, they set forth on a noble mission to change a broken system. A system where everyone paid as late as possible.
Earlytrade was born. An intuitive software platform to seamlessly turn receivables into cash flow and payables into income.
But that’s just the start. What’s next will change the game.
At a macro-level, late payments act as a gigantic productivity tax on our economy. Earlytrade estimates the cost of this to be about 1.5% of GDP each year.
This impacts businesses from both sides of the accounting equation.
It prevents small and medium businesses from hiring, investing and procuring the things they need to grow their businesses. While simultaneously, it destroys shareholder value in large corporates that are holding cash in low interest bearing accounts that could be earning more elsewhere.
Earlytrade becomes the answer they seek. When a business has the ability to control their overall cash flow efficiency and working capital position in real-time, that business will be more successful.
And that can only be a good thing for all Australians.
That’s the key to our successful partnerships with some of Australia’s leading brands. We don’t rest on our laurels.
Our team is hard at work anticipating the future needs of the industries we serve.
Through innovation, our latest products are changing the way businesses operate for the better. As we grow and evolve our mission will remain true - to unlock, raise and protect people's potential.
And that’s why we get up in the morning.
