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.
