For example, cell phone or cable companies receive recurring monthly payments for their services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customers pay their bills monthly and if their credit cards are charged monthly, then it becomes automatic. This type of income is extremely reliable.

For example, if a new company sold $80,000 of goods in November but allows the customer to pay 30 days later, the company\u2019s November sales are $80,000 (even though no cash was received in December).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reporting revenues in the period in which they are earned is known as the accrual basis of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Accounting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">accounting<\/a>.
