Viewpost, a B2B invoice and payment platform vendor, is pushing a process where debt is morphed into a source of liquidity.
“More than invoicing software, the company is selling a network that allows businesses to collect debts early at a discounted rate determined by the debtor,” reported VentureBeat. “For example, a hotel pays a recurring quarterly fee for trash collection. The hotel can note in Viewpost that it’s willing to pay it’s invoice in advance of the due date in exchange for a 5 percent discount on the total bill. If the trash collection company needs or wants that money early and the 5 percent discount is acceptable to them, they can accept the hotel’s offer. Viewpost takes a percentage of that transaction from the entity cashing in on the discount.”
