The Small Business Administration estimates that the average invoice costs around $5.00 to prepare and mail.  The overall calculation includes the average expenses for paper, postage, personnel.  With such costs on the rise, it is wise to explore other billing options.

“Set It and Forget It” Simplicity

Over the last few years, more businesses and nonprofits have discovered the power of recurring billing to streamline operations, reduce paperwork, improve convenience, and lower costs.  We offer a number of recurring billing solutions that include unique tools so payments can be handled automatically.  Organizations can use recurring billing with credit card or ACH debits or BOTH.

Our recurring billing software offers a robust and easy-to-use system that can be configured to suit the needs of your organization.  Automated technology helps capture and retain up to 10% more of your billing annually.  Customers or contributors also appreciate not having to return payment reminders by writing checks, finding stamps, and mailing envelopes.

Automated billing is the ideal solution for all types of regularly scheduled payments, subscription fees, charitable giving, membership dues or installment payments (i.e. three payments of $29.95).  Most important, recurring billing provides improved profitability, payment security as well as better control and predictability over your cash flow.

• Independent studies have found that recurring payments grew from $540 billion in 1997 to $820 billion in 2000, with 69% of consumers paying through at least one automatic payment program.
• Visa USA estimates growth of such payments to more than $1.1 trillion by 2005.
• Will your customers want automatic payments? A study showed that fully one third of consumers under age 44 are open to recurring payments.
• Use this trend to save your staff time and expedite collection of your receivables.
