Being a credit-savvy business doesn’t mean spending recklessly or chasing points. It means managing timing, holding onto cash, and staying in control.

We’ve spoken with hundreds of UK SMEs. Here are three real examples of how they’ve used Bluechain to pay by card — even when the supplier didn’t take cards.

1. The Construction Business Bridging a Payment Gap

“We needed to pay the scaffolder upfront, but our client wouldn’t pay us for 30 days. Bluechain let us bridge the gap and keep the project on track.”

2. The Marketing Agency That Avoided a Loan

“We were hit with three late payments and a VAT deadline. We used Bluechain to pay HMRC by card, bought 56 days of breathing room — and didn’t need a loan.”

3. The eCom Seller Covering a Big Inventory Bill

“I needed stock for a flash sale, but the supplier wanted upfront payment. I used Bluechain with my Mastercard and cleared it once the orders rolled in.”

“Being credit-savvy is about managing cashflow, timing and using what you already have more effectively.”
