What you can potentially do is, along with your charter professional accountant, have an arrangement with your suppliers knowing that you are making a very honest very energetic example of trying to pay off the bills. Hopefully what happens is the suppliers will see that you are making a very concerted effort and going to allow you to keep going with your payments without being in any arrears, or adding any and an extra interest, etc. The last thing your debt going to want to do is to accrue more interest as it is again money that you just don’t have.
Often your going to have to accrue a lot of accounting fees as well. You’re charter professional accountant can deal with that in terms of you not necessarily having to consider it or even thinking about it. Your charter professional accountant will be able as well to work with CFO services to figure out exactly a great plan about when is a great idea to have all of these paid off.
It’s going to be figured that you’re going to want to deal with all the little payments first right after all of the big payments. Get all those little payments dealt with and hundred percent paid off before you have to deal with interest. Interest is just going to make a small Bill a lot bigger. The lasting you’re definitely going to want to think about is having a smaller bill getting bigger.
Usually when you have a negative number, you have gladly and hopefully prepaid for something. What that prepayment can be is it can be rent, mortgage, a deposit for the contractor, etc.
CFO services wants you to definitely get on board as you often have accrual rates and often don’t necessarily worry about a lot of interest when you pay things off as quickly as you possibly can. Bear in mind that you are going to have a lot more interest to pay on bigger payments.
CFO services states that because you have that in mind, to try to put down as much money on the bigger payments that you have first. That could potentially avoid you from paying any unnecessary interest as well. Bear in mind, that interest is money that you just don’t have. You’re going to want obviously to pay money on the capital. Therefore, what you’re going to want to do is put as much money as you possibly can on the big payments first.
After you have put as much money as you possibly can on the bigger discrepancies, make sure that you have a conversation with all of the suppliers to let them know that you are trying the best that you possibly can to make the payments. Make sure that it is you reaching out to them first, and set of them trying to hound you into paying your bill. That will show a sense of motivation and a sense of good sportsmanship in terms of trying to get the bills paid off. Your suppliers then might realize that you are making a very honest, very energetic effort to try and pay off all of the outstanding bills.
They might give you a little bit of a leeway and a little bit of professional dedication and courtesy to give you more time to pay those bills off.
CFO services says that then what you should do is turn around and, after taking as much money from the bigger bills to pay off, concentrate on the smaller bills.
Make sure that those smaller bills are ones that your definitely going to be paying off 100%. Those are ones that you’re not going to want to think about, or have month over month in order for you to gain more interest and turn your small bills into big outstanding bills. That is just shooting yourself in the foot.
Think about the legitimacy of putting payroll or corporate tax in the AP aging summary as well. This is very considerate in of your small business in the fact that the Canada revenue agency or the Alberta government and the specific GST can only be paid on and from within that specific account. They belong all of them in their own separate accounts. Do not punch them up together, as you will not know what money you’re paying where and from each account. You should definitely have a corporate tax payable that your charter professional accountant will be able to set up for you as well. The provincial tax payable account should also be another separate account.
These are all things that your charter professional accountant will be able to deal with.
