⚡ CalcWolf Insight

The average small business has $84,000 in unpaid invoices at any given time. Offering a 2% discount for payment within 10 days (common terms: "2/10 Net 30") costs you 2% but eliminates 30-60 days of cash flow delay. For businesses with tight cash flow, the discount pays for itself through reduced borrowing costs.
