As a nation of small business owners here in the UK, for many, owning their own business is something they aspire to for many years before actually taking the plunge and going for it.  It’s a great way of gaining more control over both your life and your finances, though, as any small business owner will tell you, it’s not a bed or roses and, in the early years, you’ll often find yourself working harder than you ever imagined while you get your business up and running.

Here in the UK, we’re a nation of small business owners, indeed more than 99% of all companies here are SMEs and these account for 60% of all private sector employment.  This means that SMEs represent the backbone of our nation’s economy and are one of Britain’s most important financial assets.  However, anybody who’s ever owned and managed a small business will know that it’s not an easy undertaking, there are all sort of challenges to be dealt with and one of the major challenges faced by small companies is the cash flow problem.

Over the past twenty years the Internet has gone from being the preserve of tecchies and geeks to a global platform that just about every household here in the UK has access to.  The increasing use of the Internet has changed the way in which we work, rest and play and it’s hard to imagine that we lived without this fabulous electronic resource just a couple of short decades ago.  We do so much online these days – from shopping to banking to communicating, everything is available at the touch of a button.  We’ve quickly gone from using desktop computers to a
