Why businesses need to be offering cryptocurrency payments

In recent years, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have emerged from the underground and have found their place in the mainstream worlds of finance, eCommerce, and business. But as a business owner, should you consider offering cryptocurrency payments? There are plenty of big names that already do and many benefits for you.

Big companies that use cryptocurrency

The widespread adoption of cryptocurrency has been driven in part by major retailers and service providers opting to offer cryptocurrency payment methods. Some of the world’s biggest companies offer payments in bitcoin, ether, and some other currencies.

For example, Microsoft, Overstock, Twitch, and AT&T all accept crypto payments. You can even pay for your Starbucks, Burger King, or KFC with Bitcoin if you so wish. For the adventurous amongst us, space travel via Virgin Galactic can be paid for with crypto, or you could just fly to Norway with Norwegian Airlines. Asides from the big names, it’s estimated that 36% of SMEs in the US, accept Bitcoin with some accepting other virtual currencies as well.

Why business should use cryptocurrency

There are several reasons why cryptocurrency payments are beneficial for businesses. Some of them will depend on the nature of the particular industry, but others are more general. Firstly, cryptocurrency is huge, and offering this service gives you a competitive edge over other businesses, as well as plenty of cool points. Furthermore, there are some 1.7 billion people across the world that do not have access to a bank account, let alone a card for online shopping. Providing crypto payments allows unbanked individuals to pay for goods and services online.

There is a global shift away from a cash-based economy and to a digital- economy. People are preferring to use electronic payments and, increasingly, digital currencies to transact online. Cryptocurrency payments, for example, are more secure than regular payments as they do not use personal details, and once the transaction is made on the blockchain, it is immutable. This means it cannot be changed, reversed, or tampered with in any way.

How to use crypto for business safely

The key to effective cryptocurrency payment integration is risk analysis and taking steps to protect yourself and your clients. One of the first things you should do is consider taking out insurance such as professional liability insurance. This will provide financial support for you in the case where you may have to defend yourself against a negligence claim made by a customer. This kind of insurance can be required by law in some jurisdictions or areas, but even if it’s not, it’s still worth getting as you never know what could happen.

Other ways to use crypto safely include onboarding a crypto payment processor. This will securely take care of all payments to and from your company and it will ‘lock-in’ rates at the value they were when the transaction was made. This will ensure you are protected should the value of the coin drop after the purchase has been made.

Integrating cryptocurrency payments into your business is something you will have to consider sooner rather than later. Why not take the plunge now and join the ranks of some of the most forward-thinking companies in the world.

Sue and Enock Denis, co-founders of HomeCare Bosses United®, are the top industry-leading pair in the non-medical homecare space. Sue Denis began her journey after leaving the nursing world and jumping with both feet into the homecare industry by founding her own homecare agency. Next, she taught those in her local community and online how to do the same in a private Facebook group she created for the purpose. Now, that group has over 13k members.

She and Enock’s latest venture — the CareGrowth AI™ software developed specifically for homecare agencies — is but the next step in their transformative, inspiring journey, heralding a new era for homecare agencies by turning them into Intelligent HomeCare Agencies™. After their very successful launch event, the Systemize to Scale With AI Workshop, Sue and Enock are back with an encore for those who missed the first one — or those who want more HomeCare Boss magic!

The 2nd Launch Event: Systemize to Scale With AI Workshop

Scheduled from September 8-12, 2024, at 8 PM EST each day, the Systemize to Scale With AI Encore will introduce CareGrowth AI™ to the next wave of attendees. The five-day virtual event revolutionizes how homecare agencies operate, offering insights and tools to streamline operations, reduce errors, and enhance efficiency.

“We’re not just offering another software; we’re helping agencies transform into Intelligent Homecare Agencies,” Enock explains. “With AI, these agencies can become more efficient, productive, and ultimately more profitable.”

At the heart of HomeCare Bosses United® lies a set of core values: Empowerment, innovation, community, integrity, excellence, and faith. These principles guide their mission and shape their approach to business, ensuring that each agency owner feels equipped to navigate the industry’s challenges.

“Empowerment is key,” says Sue. “We want agency owners to feel confident and capable, knowing they have the power to succeed.”

Innovation is another critical aspect of their work. With the launch of CareGrowth AI™, the Denises are setting new standards in the industry, paving the way for homecare agencies to become part of the Intelligent Homecare Agency™ category.

“With CareGrowth AI, we’re keeping up with the AI revolution… by leading it!” Enock emphasizes.
