Global Credit Management: putting you in
the picture
“Prevention
is better than cure” – this old adage is being revisited in the
current situation of global economic meltdown and is the principle
which underpins good Credit Management.
Rather than wasting time and
money chasing after non-payers and assuming all new customers are
good until they default, many businesses have come to the conclusion
that they can massively reduce wasted resources and time by
selecting their customers BEFORE doing business with them and this
is what a carefully thought-out Credit Management policy seeks to
do.
Investing in quality Credit Reports and Business Information
will often give you all the information you need to extend company
credit to trading partners or, if appropriate, to refuse to do
business with them if they are revealed to present a commercial
risk.
When you are scratching your head wondering how to obtain
payment from bad customers, wouldn’t you have been grateful to have
seen their Company Credit Report BEFORE you delivered your goods or
services? Every now and then, its true, a “good” customer will
default on payment – but let this be the exception rather than the
rule.
If you do arrive at the situation of non-payment, many
business who require to collection from debtors in Italy or
worldwide are finding that Pre-Judicial Debt Collection has many
benefits to collection through the courts (costs are significantly
less, 50-60% recovery rates, speed – usually all tied up in 40
days). If you do have to consider Debt Collection through the
Courts, you can again take preventitive action by checking out the
Debtor’s ability to pay with a Credit Recovery Report – after all,
why waste time and money if the debtor can’t pay in the end of the
day?
