How to Stay on Top of your Debtors

Staying on top of your debt collection is absolutely vital for your business. Proper management of your debtors will help you get paid faster and prevent bad debts.

TERMS OF TRADE

Ensure that you advise all clients/customers your terms of trade before you provide goods or

services, for example your invoice is to be paid in 7, 14, 30 days and make sure this is on your invoice

and/or credit application.

FOLLOW UP INVOICES IMMEDIATELY

When an invoice becomes overdue follow them up immediately – the sooner you follow up the

greater the chance of payment.

STAY ON THE FOREFRONT OF THE CUSTOMER

Customers with cash flow problems will be deciding who to pay first and will most likely pay the one

who is pushing the hardest.

CONSIDER PAYMENT PLANS

You may have a long standing customer who suddenly has cash flow problems, you could consider a

payment plan with them to save ruining the relationship until they overcome their hardship.
