Everything Float does

A guided tour of the product. Safety features are on every plan; a few power features are marked Scale.

Forecasting and planning

Radar

All plans

Your home dashboard — the date and depth of your next cash crunch, projected day by day across your horizon.

90-day operating balanceCrunch · day 43
Projected balanceSafety buffer
  • Stat row: operating cash across all accounts, net 30-day flow, outstanding receivables (and how much is overdue), and the forecast verdict (crunch date or “Clear”).
  • Crunch banner: how many days away, the projected balance below your buffer, and why — the largest outflows landing before your slow payers pay.
  • Stress test: re-run the forecast assuming customers pay at their worst historical speed.
  • Monday memo (Scale) — a proactive weekly AI briefing on cash, risk, and one action.

Scenarios

Save and PDF: Scale

A what-if studio — toggle real business levers and watch the forecast redraw against your current baseline.

Scenario vs baselineCrunch cleared
With scenarioBaseline

Levers include hire, delay an import, win a new client, raise prices, cut costs, chase harder, and defer VAT — magnitudes derived from your real payroll, receivables, and spend. Suggest with AI proposes scenarios with their grounded impact and an Apply button. On Scale you can save scenarios and export a board-ready PDF.

Getting paid

Defender

Sequences and credit checks: Scale

Your accounts-receivable cockpit — predict who pays late, chase them, and claim what you're owed.

Receivables
Northbank LtdAED 12,600Overdue 6d
Greenhouse CoAED 6,800Chasing
Maene StudioAED 2,300Paid
  • Add invoices or pull them from your accounting app; each shows a risk band and a predicted payment date from that client’s real behaviour.
  • Statutory late-payment interest (all plans): an indicative contractual figure (~9%/yr, no fixed fee) — not a statutory entitlement; confirm the rate in your contract and with counsel. You can add it to the invoice (recorded in your audit log).
  • Actions: manual Chase and Mark paid on all plans; Scale adds automated escalating chase sequences and client credit checks.
Worked example
On a AED 3,150 invoice paid 6 days late, Float shows the indicative contractual interest at ~9%/yr — about AED 4.66 — ready to add to the invoice, with a note to confirm the rate in your contract.

Money and tax

Set-Aside

All plans · safety

Smart Set-Aside automatically ring-fences the VAT portion of every payment you receive into a protected pot.

VAT pot · FTA
AED 39,000
ring-fenced & ready

VAT divisor: gross ÷ 21 (5% VAT). It also estimates a corporate-tax pot (UAE Corporate Tax 9% on profit above AED 375,000). Turning it on makes your Radar forecast more honest — it plans around money that’s already spoken for.

Worked example
A customer pays a AED 6,300 invoice. Float quietly moves AED 300 (the VAT) into a protected pot and shows only AED 6,000 as spendable — so when the FTA bill lands, the money is already there. No scramble, no borrowing to pay tax.
Set-Aside is a budgeting aid, not tax advice. Float does not file returns or move money.

Runway

Marketplace: Scale

A financing bridge — shown only when a crunch is actually forecast. Float never dangles financing at a healthy business.

Float BridgeSized to your crunch
AmountAED 15,000
Term8 weeks
Rate1.2% / month
Total repayableAED 15,720
AcceptDecline

When a crunch exists, Float sizes a single bridge to cover the shortfall, timed to land just before the dip, showing amount, term, rate (1.2%/month), and total repayable — with Accept / Decline. Scale adds a marketplace that ranks alternative offers by true cost.

Illustrative only, and not regulated credit advice. Always compare the true cost.

Growth and protection

Protector

Marketplace: Scale

Business-insurance recommendations sized to your actual exposure (receivables, overdue, single-client concentration).

Top client

A top-pick policy card shows category, indicative cover, and approximate annual premium, with a Request quote button — Float records your interest but is not a broker and does not sell policies. Scale adds a comparison marketplace.

Health

All plans

A 0–100 business-health score, your connected-account balances, and a subscription waste finder.

Business health
VAT ring-fenced 1 overdue payer Crunch in 43 days

The score comes with a plain-English breakdown of what’s helping and hurting (a forecast crunch, overdue receivables, over-reliance on one client, subscription waste, un-ring-fenced VAT) and how to fix each. The Waste Finder flags unused or duplicate subscriptions with the monthly saving.

AI

Ask Float

50/mo Grow · unlimited Scale

An AI CFO chat grounded strictly in your company's numbers — it can't see other companies' data and won't invent figures.

When’s my next crunch, and how big?
Day 43 — you’ll dip to £2,932, below your buffer. Chasing Northbank a week early clears it.
Grounded in your data

Grow: 50 questions/month with optional top-up packs. Scale: unlimited (fair use). Thumbs-up/down feedback on any answer, and quick-question chips to get started.

Ask Float gives information, not regulated advice; it defers tax/legal questions to your accountant and always cites the cost (and an alternative) when discussing a bridge.

Each bank connection shows its balance, a consent countdown (amber at ≤21 days), and last-synced time — Sync, Renew consent, or Disconnect. Grow is capped at 3 bank connections.

Float only ever shows an integration as “connected” after a real sync succeeds — no fake connected states. You must complete verification (Compliance) before connecting.

Compliance
