Cashflow

Understand your cashflow

Understanding the amount of cash coming in and out of your business is key to successful decision making and planning. There are some steps that you can take to help support you with better cashflow management particularly during periods of uncertainty.

Free accounting software for your business

FreeAgent gives you a bird’s eye view of your cashflow, profit and loss, invoices and business bank accounts. It also surfaces valuable insights to help you make smarter business decisions.

Card disputes

Card payment disputes

If you’ve paid for goods or services by debit or charge card and you didn't receive them, the first step in making a claim is to speak to the retailer to see if they can resolve the issue. For payments made through PayPal, please speak to the retailer's disputes team. If you’ve contacted the retailer and they couldn’t help, we can raise the dispute for you.
