Credit Control – who’s in charge of your finances?
Effective credit control ensures that a business has a regular flow of cash. In turn, good cash flow means the business is in the strongest financial position to grow, or in tougher times, to survive.
Our new client asked us to chase up and secure payment for a large number of outstanding invoices worth a lot of money. By monitoring the accounts receivable inbox, we managed the credit control process: chasing payments, sending statements and responding to invoice queries. This ensured that the outstanding bills were paid and future invoices were collected in a timely manner. Money was secured to grow the business, avoiding non-payment and costly follow up measures, such as solicitors’ fees.
This is why effective credit control is critical for your business
- Minimise Risk
Keeping on top of your credit control helps you to manage and mitigate risk. Discouraging late payment and setting credit limits allows you to absorb unavoidable losses without the risk of business failure.
- Save time
Reviewing outstanding debts on a regular basis means that you can follow up on any late payers quickly. This highlights any issues and gives you time to rectify issues or initiate processes to secure payment.
- Save money
When payments are made promptly, the more funds you’ll have available for investment, paying wages and your own bills. If a debt is not collected in a timely manner, it may have to be written off, leaving you out of pocket.
