Anybody coming into the wine industry has to invest a lot in equipment. Return on capital in the wine industry is not great. Most of our customers are on open credit. So we invest in the inventory, we send it out, then we’ve got to wait 3-4 months before the money comes back in, so someone like AR (Cashflow)makes a big difference to us because a lot of that cash we can access immediately. There are a whole range of things that we can do to make things a lot easier for ourselves. Obviously outsourcing and minimizing capital investment is one thing, utilizing AR is another.

Our biggest challenge before dealing with AR Cash Flow, was cash flow. It was just every time you had money in the bank it would go to the next order so now that’s (Invoice Factoring) really free’d us up a lot which we can now go ahead and export with confidence. We can fulfill our orders and get it out there.” Note: Since working with AR Cash Flow, Cintra Estate has established distribution throughout the United Kingdom and New Zealand.
