Where working capital leaks

Stock on the shelf, cash on terms, and the risk out of sight.

01

Working capital strain

Inventory sits while customers demand 30–90 day terms, tying up the cash you need to trade.

02

Fragmented decisions

Credit checks, payment history and ownership data live in separate tools. Decisions end up slow and inconsistent.

03

Hidden concentration risk

Linked entities and shared directors build exposure that goes undetected until payment slows.

Snapshot vs. monitored buyer

A limit increase shouldn’t be a guess.

Same buyer, same 90 days. Switch between a one-off check and ClearSignal monitoring to see the deterioration a snapshot would never flag.

⏸ Checked once · at onboarding

Limit raised on an old check.

The buyer looked fine months ago, so you raised the limit. The late-paying trend and the group concentration weren’t in view.
