Royal Decree for EESPA
The European E-Invoicing Service Providers Association (EESPA) is now an official association in the form of an International Non-Profit Association. The association has received a Royal Decree in Belgium and as such is now officially in existence. This follows a very successful informal meeting on Interoperability held in Barcelona on the 28th September 2011. The meeting was attended by representatives from over 40 organisations involved in providing e-invoicing services in Europe and made significant progress in identifying the key areas of definition required to enable greater and more standardised interoperability.
Cartoon fun for Friday - Direct Debits

Get paid quicker with direct debits
To benefit fully from a complete e-invoicing process it makes good business sense to offer your clients a range of secure electronic payment options. One option, Direct Debit, will make payment collection much quicker and easier and choosing the right Direct Debit solution is crucial when setting up recurring payment collections.
Firstly, what is a Direct Debit? A Direct Debit is an instruction from a customer to their bank or building society authorising an organisation to collect recurring payments from their current account. It automatically allows an organisation to collect fixed or variable amounts on or after a specified date. It saves time, reduces the costs of collections and puts cleared funds directly into the company bank account.

The limited availability of credit following the financial crisis coupled with the potential consequences of Basel III has resulted in a crunch on lending to corporates. Banks and corporates have become more attracted to financing opportunities linked to supply chain transactions. In a recent report, Celent even went as far as to ask whether supply chain financing is ‘flavour of the year’.
