How to get your invoices paid FIRST.
If you are tired of chasing down invoices, short-payments or borrowing to stay afloat, it's time to try something different.

The earlier they pay, the bigger the savings.
For you, this is less chasing, faster conversion of sales into cash and potential to win more customers, without costing you any extra margin.
It's a simple idea but hard to administer and implement, until now.

Take a tour of Parakeet
We automate early payment by brokering returns.
Let your invoices standout from the crowd, only with Parakeet
1. What is a return?
It's a reduced price on your invoice offered to customers as an easy nudge to get paid early or on-time.
Once you and your customer approve the offer, they get a reduced bill and you receive early payment. Everyone wins! Best yet, customers don’t need to be Parakeet users to approve, giving you more cash flow opportunities.
2. How does it work?
Set the maximum return you are willing to offer and we'll take care of the rest.
Based on the maximum set, we'll offer returns to customers on your behalf. Not sure what percentage to set? Try our returns calculator. You'll receive a personalised recommendation for your business needs.
3. Why offer returns?
Took out a loan? Using credit cards? You're not alone, but while invoices remain unpaid, debt doesn't wait.
Offering a return reduces your admin time chasing payments allowing you to pay down your debts sooner rather than later. It’s a win-win that offsets the cost of the return offered.
How might returns boost your business?

Correcting the payment cycle.
Overdue Payments
Did you know that for more than 40% of businesses, the shortest credit to cash turnaround on their invoices is over three weeks past the due date? Businesses, in turn, postpone their own payments to suppliers or take specific actions to correct cashflow.
Failed Payments
Half of all businesses see more than 7% of their payments fail, with B2B business spending an average of 16-20% of the payment value to recover it. Let's put that into perspective. If your business has a $10m in annual revenue, you could be spending over $100k to recover payments!
