The most effective method to Avoid Bad Debts: Tips from
a Debt Collection Expert.
Our task at Debt Recoveries Dubai is to collect debts. However, as we come into contact with a credit departments and accounts receivable framework and procedures, we also get to see how debts come about in the first place and how they can be avoided.
Wouldn’t it be great to keep all that bad debt from occurring in the any case? What tools should you put in place at the start to limit outstanding debts?
We coach many customers on debt prevention strategies, so I thought I might share some of these avoidance tips with you.
Select Your Clients Carefully I know this sounds obvious, however when I initially began in
business, I took any customer I could get keeping in mind the end
goal to win organization, imaginary that a busy office would mean
achievement and huge profits. Off-base! It led to low morale, low
customer satisfaction and low profits, since I was not picking and
choosing the clients that I wanted to work with. I learnt I am more
relaxed service a specific customer and so I now stay within our
niche customer base and we don’t stray from that.
So you need to pick your customer carefully. Work with your
business division to create an ultimate profile of the perfect client
for you and then only take on those clients you want to work with.
Once you have chosen your client, conduct credit reports/searches
on the organization and the director. Check their sites, social media
sites. Ring their clients and ask them about your potential clients.
Look for warning in their finance department you can learn about
their financial health before you do business with them.
Gain Tighter Power
Once you have chosen the correct customer and you are
content with the credit checks and financial status, you now
need to set up tight credit controls. Tight credit control is your
first line of defense to avoid bad debt. It’s the most way to
avoid or limit your exposure to bad debts by a couple of basic
steps:
Complete exhaustive business and reference checks (if not
done so already) before you offer credit to new customers.
Get them to agree to individual certifications and sign credit
application forms ( see this connection on our website for a
free credit application layout).
Make sure you have credit control documents.
Set reasonable but reasonable credit limits.
Cash Upfront
In my view, by asking for cash up front, you
are transfer a strong letter to your client that
you are serious about your services and
serious about fee.
Consider adjusting your system to fit in with
this: for example, following up as soon as you
realize your payment has been missed out –
or calling in advance to guarantee that a
cheque will be issued.
Set Your Payment Terms and Penalties
See our website link for terms and penalty fee template: Your terms of trade will only be enforceable if you ensure clients sign their acceptance before you extend them any credit.
Make sure your terms of trade specify when you will start to charge interest on overdue amounts and the rate of interest you will be charging.
How do they hope to get paid? You must set clear and obvious payments terms and make ensure they are set out and clarified in plain English.
It’s amazing how many organization I have gone over that have no payment terms at all and no punishment charges.
