Cashflow

Bad Debts: 

These occur when clients or customers don’t pay their due accounts, going beyond the terms of credit. These are monies owed to you for services or goods already provided. 

Tips: 

  • Help avoid bad debts by reviewing the credit rating of your clients before offering extended terms.  

  • Work with new clients to establish credit ratings and performance before entering credit arrangements. 

  • Adopt a Debt Management Strategy to better monitor and manage accounts. This scrutiny can help prevent debts from becoming bad debts. 

  • Take any necessary recovery as required.  

  • Remember that you are running a business. Failure to manage or recover debts can hijack your cash flow and business success.
