If you operate a small service-oriented business, you’re dedicated to providing the best customer service. You know the positive impression it makes is worth every minute you spend taking care of your clients. That’s why you reach out to others with a friendly demeanor even on those days when mundane tasks like billing for accounts receivable pile up on your desk.
Many small business owners really dislike expending time on the tedium of collecting payments from customers. That’s often why they accept the major credit cards. It’s nice to just focus on your business more and spend less time dealing with processing payments, but there’s a down side: Those interchange fees take a bite out of your profits. Have you considered cutting your overhead through eliminating those onerous interchange fees charged by the big credit-card processors?
Consider switching your customers over to ACH payments. Not only is it just as convenient for your customers as paying with a credit card, it will save a merchant a bundle on interchange fees charged by credit card companies. You can even pre-schedule cash disbursements.
For auto shops, security companies and other small service businesses ACH payment processing offers the same convenience of using a credit card. And if your clients generate reoccurring bills, you can sign your clients up for pre-scheduled ACH payments each month, or week. It’s no muss and no fuss, and it parks more of your cash in the bank.
