Slice exists to smooth timing, so it pays to plan the instalments around your actual cash flow rather than hoping the dates fall conveniently. A little forethought turns Slice from a relief into a genuine tool.
Map dates to income
- Line up collection dates with when customers reliably pay you
- Keep instalments clear of payroll, rent and tax deadlines
- Leave a small buffer so one slow-paying customer does not derail a collection
Think about the whole picture
If you hold other commitments, including another Slice or a Flex facility, look at the combined demand on your account across the next few weeks. The total cost of each Slice is in your offer, so you can factor it into your forecast accurately.
Build in a margin of safety
Forecasts are estimates. Funding the next instalment slightly ahead of the date, where you can, removes the stress of a tight collection. If a date starts to look difficult, contact us before it falls due — early conversations almost always go better than missed instalments, which can carry a charge under your agreement.
Used with a clear plan, Slice helps your cash flow rather than competing with it.
