One of the challenges of working with aviation customers is that they can usually take up to 60 days to pay their invoices. Offering generous payment terms is a common industry practice and aviation parts suppliers have to do so to remain competitive. The problem is that not everyone can afford to wait that long for payment. Many small aviation parts companies have obligations that need to be met regularly, such as supplier payments, payroll, and other items. Not paying any of these expenses on time could lead to serious problems. This situation can put the aviation supplier in an awkward position where theyre juggling  supplier payments in order to make ends meet.

For many companies a better solution is to accelerate their revenues using invoice factoring. Factoring provides an advance to the aviation parts company using its slow paying invoices as collateral. This provides the liquidity that the company needs to operate with confidence.

The Bank of England has marked the third anniversary of its decision to cut interest rates to 0.5% and begin an electronic money creation programme by leaving policy on an ultra-loose setting.

Faced with a stubbornly weak economy, the City sees no prospect of Threadneedle Street tightening its monetary stance before the end of next year at the earliest, even though the lowest bank rate in history and the announcement of £325bn of quantitative easing have created losers as well as winners.

Mortgage payers: Cheap money has fed through into less expensive home loans, with particularly hefty gains for those on floating rate mortgages. For those in this group who held onto their jobs during the worst of the recession in the winter of 2008-09, there were sizeable reductions in their monthly repayments as bank rate came down from 5% to 0.5%. Although the full benefits were not passed on to mortgage payers by lenders, the reductions helped underpin consumer spending and limited home repossessions.
