Innovative Discount System Created With DirectInvoice
April 01, 2003
Our legal department at Atlantic Bank of New York was looking for an electronic invoicing system to make our outside counsel billing process more manageable. What we found was new technology and software that enabled us not only to improve the overall efficiency of our system but also to implement an invoice discounting policy that saves us money and gets our outside counsel paid quickly. The discounting policy lets us reduce payments to outside counsel by a set percentage if we pay their bills within 20 days and reduces the fees further in the event of late invoice submission.
Coping with Poor Corporate Hygiene in the Early Stage
April 01, 2003
Part 2 of 2. Last month, Dan Mahoney and Jim Thorton discussed the costs of "poor corporate hygiene" in early stage companies to include the overzealous use of options (and how it affects the cap table), as well as the pitfalls of short-sighted legal structuring. The lack of attention to these issues can often render an early stage company unfundable in the next round. This month, Dan and Jim discuss the potential benefits, but more importantly the likely costs, of short-sighted corporate partnering, bad licensing and how ineffective boards can negatively impact early stage companies.
