What if cash flow wasn’t an issue? It isn’t—for businesses that clear invoices. When a bill comes in, they don’t pay it—they clear it. The banks figured this out 200 years ago. Every day in Australia, banks settle $300 billion in IOUs without transferring cash. With one net payment. All cleared. We’re bringing this to normal businesses. And the cash flow problem disappears to the extent that invoices are cleared.
