Small Business Still Struggle to Pay Bills on Time

The Wall Street Journal ran a short article last week discussing the most recent poll results from Experian’s Business Benchmark Report. The main conclusion of the report was that small business owners are still struggling to manage cash flow, so they’re continuing to pay their bills late.

Specifically, the report said the following:

  • Businesses with between one and four employees were an average of 8.2 days late paying their bills – a nearly 15% increase from a year ago.
  • Firms with five to nine employees were 7.6 days late, an increase of about 16%.
  • The average for businesses of all sizes was 7.1 days.

Looking Back on NAHC’s 2011 Conference

Last week, PRN Funding had the opportunity to exhibit at the National Association for Home Care and Hospice’s 2011 Conference for the first time, and we have a lot of mixed feelings and opinions about it.

From an exhibitor’s point of view, the show was slightly disappointing because out of a projected 1500 conference attendees, we only got to meet 350 of them!

However, those who stopped by had the opportunity to learn more about PRN Funding’s home care factoring services, and they were able to enter PRN’s iPad2 giveaway.

Special congrats goes to Cheryl from Apple Home Health Care who was the lucky winner!

Ongoing Nurse Staffing Payroll Funding Process

Most factoring firms can establish a new account in as little as three business days. But what happens after that? When nurse staffing agencies choose to work with a factor that understands their business model, the daily funding procedures are just as easy as the approval process.

The day-to-day nurse staffing payroll funding process works like this:

Staff Nurses & Send out Invoices
The beginning of the nurse staffing payroll funding process is not so different from your normal staffing procedures. You staff your nurses at a medical facility, collect your employees’ time sheets, and issue invoices to the facility. The only change at this stage of the process is the remittance address. Most nurse staffing payroll funding firms ask that their remittance information be printed directly on the invoice.

Send Information to the Funder
After you send your invoices and timesheets to your customer, those invoices are officially eligible for sale. So the next step is to send a copy of those invoices and their corresponding timesheets to your payroll funder. Typically, nurse staffing agencies send these items to a payroll funder via fax or email.

Retired Nurses Help Ease Staffing Crunch

We’ve been blogging for years about the nurse shortage and how medical staffing agencies have various opportunities to capitalize on the staffing crisis. There was an interesting article on Health Leaders Media’s website that profiled MidMichigan Health, a nonprofit system based in Midland, MI, that started bringing back retired nurses to cover gaps in shifts.

Here is an excerpt from the article:

The health system found it had a cadre of retired nurses who didn’t want to entirely stop working, so it utilized the available talent to fill gaps in schedules, work on special projects, and generally improve the staffing situation across the whole system.

“We had a lot of retirees that took a retirement package we offered as a cost saving measure,” says Tonia VanWieren, BSN, RN, director maternity unit/pediatrics, nursing office/shift administrator, MyTimeSelect/system staffing. “Then they wanted to come back to work because of the economy and different things in their lives.”
