Are you tired of the endless chase?
The gnawing feeling of invoices sitting unpaid, the constant badgering of clients, and the sinking realization that your hard work isn't translating into cash in your pocket when you need it? If you're nodding along, you're not alone. As a business owner, freelancer, or light entrepreneur, your focus should be on closing deals and driving growth, not on the administrative headache of getting paid.
In this article, we're going to show you exactly how Palkkaguru empowers you to get paid faster, often in under 5 minutes for critical tasks, and how our specific payment policies put cash in your hand the moment it’s available.
Why Speed Matters for You
In your role, every moment counts. Whether you're navigating complex sales cycles or ensuring your team has resources, time is your most precious commodity.
Think about it:
Delayed commissions: If you're in sales, late payments directly impact your earnings and motivation. This can lead to a dip in performance and a struggle to meet your targets.
Strained cash flow: For business owner, freelancer or light-entrepreneur, unpaid invoices mean less capital to cover operating expenses, pay suppliers, or invest in new opportunities. This can create a ripple effect of financial stress.
Damaged client relationships: Constantly having to follow up on overdue payments can strain relationships with your clients, even if they are generally good payers. It can make you appear unprofessional and create an unnecessary point of friction.
Lost opportunities: Without readily available cash, you might miss out on lucrative deals, strategic partnerships, or essential technology upgrades that could give you a competitive edge.
Palkkaguru understands these challenges intimately. We've designed our platform to tackle these pain points head-on, specifically for professionals like you who need a streamlined, efficient way to get paid.
Palkkaguru's 5-Minute Payment Power-Up
The magic of Palkkaguru lies in its ability to simplify and accelerate the entire payment process. We're not just talking about sending an invoice; we're talking about creating an ecosystem where payments flow smoothly and quickly. Here's how we achieve this, often within that crucial 5-minute window:
Instant Invoice Generation and Delivery
Gone are the days of spending precious minutes or even hours crafting individual invoices. With Palkkaguru, you can generate professional, customized invoices in seconds.
Pre-built templates: Our platform offers a range of industry-standard templates that you can adapt with your information and client details.
Automated data population: If you're integrating Palkkaguru with your Vero.fi, tax information can be automatically pulled, eliminating manual data entry.
One-click sending: Once your invoice is ready, sending it to your client is as simple as a click. Guru platform takes care of the rest
Example for you: Imagine you've just closed a deal with a new client. Instead of going back to your desk and spending 30 minutes creating an invoice, you can use Palkkaguru on your mobile device, input the deal details, and send the invoice within 5 min of shaking hands. That's instant revenue generation!
Get Paid on Your Terms: Two Ways to Accelerate Cash Flow
We don't just send invoices faster; we process your salary faster. We offer two distinct speeds depending on how urgently you need the funds.
Same Day Payment (The Standard)
Unlike some other providers that might sit on funds for 1-2 business days, Palkkaguru operates with a Same Day Payment standard policy for all users.
How it works: As soon as your client’s payment hits our account, we process your salary immediately.
The Schedule: Payments are made on weekdays between 09:00 and 18:00.
The Technology: We use SEPA instant payments, ensuring the money lands in your domestic bank account almost instantly.
The Cost: €0. We do not charge separate costs for this express speed; it is our standard service.
Guru Express Payment (The Accelerator)
Sometimes, you cannot wait for your client to pay their invoice. You need the money now to buy materials or cover an urgent bill. For these moments, we offer Guru Express Payment.
How it works: We advance the salary to you immediately, even if your client hasn't paid the invoice yet.
The Cost: €15.00 + 5% of the invoiced amount (VAT 0%).
Why use it: It gives you total control over your liquidity, turning a "net 14" invoice into "net now" cash.
Seamless Online Payment Options
The biggest bottleneck to getting paid quickly is often the payment method itself. Palkkaguru integrates with a variety of secure and popular online Finnish bank's payment gateways, making it incredibly easy for your clients to pay you, instantly.
Embedded payment links: Your invoices will contain clear, direct links that take clients straight to a secure payment page, bypassing any confusion or extra steps.
Real-time payment confirmation: As soon as a payment is processed, you receive an immediate notification, allowing you to update your records and acknowledge receipt promptly.
Beyond Speed: The Long-Term Impact
While the "under 5 minutes" aspect of Palkkaguru is a powerful draw, the benefits extend far beyond just rapid invoice dispatch. By adopting our platform, you're investing in a more efficient, professional, and financially stable operation.
Improved cash flow predictability: When payments are consistently processed faster, you gain a clearer picture of your incoming revenue, allowing for better financial planning and budgeting.
Reduced administrative burden: Your team can reclaim hours previously spent on chasing payments, manually reconciling accounts, and dealing with payment queries. This frees them up for more strategic, revenue-generating activities.
Enhanced client satisfaction: A smooth and efficient payment process contributes to a positive client experience. Clients appreciate professionalism and ease of doing business.
Competitive advantage: In a market where many businesses still struggle with payment delays, offering a seamless payment experience sets you apart and can be a key differentiator for new business acquisition
