Debt Prevention

Secure Your Ability To Collect

Secure your ability to collect money that is due your company with a sound credit policy.

The purpose of a credit policy is to ensure timely payment from existing and new customers sold on an open account. A credit policy defines which customers will be offered “terms” of payment, the specific “terms”, and the limit of available credit, billing procedures, and methods to handle receivables.

Having A Good Credit Policy Is The First Step

It is well known that there is a relationship between accounts receivable and the extension of credit. Maintaining equilibrium between accounts receivable and credit terms is often challenging. Offering generous terms to unworthy customers may result in increased accounts receivable, negatively impacting your bottom line.

Offering too little credit to worthy customers may result in fewer sales and reduced income. Achieving the right balance between credit and collections is tricky, but can be accomplished by establishing a sound credit policy.
