By GlobalDataIn announcing the new offerings, Xero cited internal data.
According to the data, 51.88% of small businesses in the US were cash flow positive on a monthly basis, and were paid 8.49 days late on average in 2018.
Xero founding CTO and executive general manager platform business technologies Craig Walker said: “Small businesses are fundamental to the growth of major and developing economies around the world; and ensuring that they get paid on time is vital to their survival and growth.
“We built the Xero platform to help small businesses grow with better tools, smarter insights and comprehensive connections to the information they need to run their business.
“Our partnership with Stripe today brings us even closer to helping small businesses spend less time chasing payments, and more time focusing on doing what they love.”
