How to ensure you get paid on time
Maintaining positive cash flow is a benefit for all trades businesses. Late payers make it so much harder to do that. We've put together a few tips to help make sure your bills are settled when they should be, and to deal with customers who won’t cough up on time.
How can I improve cash flow in my trades business?
Cash flow can make or break a small business. Not having money in the bank means you can't pay the bills or even put petrol in the tank. In our guide to improving cash flow, we offer a few tips to keep on top of the money moving into and out of your business.

The 5 finance reports every trades business owner needs
If you want to run a successful trades business, you have to be able to manage your finances. That doesn’t just mean keeping on top of your financial accounts - they’re only part of the story. Our guide takes you through the essential elements of a well-managed financial dashboard and puts you in the driving seat when it comes to properly managing your finances.
How you can achieve your financial goals
We all have stories that we tell ourselves about money. Sometimes, they’re so deep-rooted that we don’t realise just how much they’re holding us back. When it comes to challenging those stories, we find it pays to be specific. In this article, we explain how to go about setting financial goals and how to make them a reality.
Stress-free business finances
Dealing with finances is one of the most stressful parts of running any business. Our customers often tell us that managing cash flow and keeping on top of the paperwork keeps them up at night. And we know just how they feel. But we’ve also picked up a few good habits over the years. In this article, we share our top tips for stress-free business finances with you.

How to stop your New Year goals falling by the wayside
We’ve all done it. Many of us do it every year. We set a bunch of goals for the coming year, then gradually fail to stick to all of them. Often, before the end of January. Habits are hard to change, and that’s often the reason we don’t stick to our goals. Fortunately, at Whitebox, we have a few techniques to help stop your New Year goals falling by the wayside.
What are you aiming for in the New Year?
The saying goes, “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail”. We’ve certainly found that to be true in the past. That’s why we’ve developed a goal-setting process to make sure we leave nothing to chance. It’s a simple, powerful exercise that helps us plan, understand and measure goals.
