Proactive rather than reactive credit control?


An ability to manage cash flow is crucial to business success, and the control and management of debtors is often a painful task, as a result of manual and repetitive processes. Recent external economic factors resulting from the impacts of a long term global recession, only adds to headaches of a credit control team. An introduction of effective tools to improve the checking and collections processes, is arguably more important today, than at any time in recent history.

Credit controllers are traditionally regarded as an essential element in business to chase late payments, and respond to customer queries. However, why just be reactive in this field when you can be proactive? Proactive businesses are generally regarded as market leaders, and those who are reactive are more likely to be ‘me too’, or market followers. The traditional style of credit control is a purely reactive process. You wait for non payment, and chase. Just because that is the way it has been done, does not mean that is the way it should work in the future. There is a better way.

Creditserve Business Reports are now available which can help manage credit checking and risk analysis, through to assisting debt recoveries prior to 'going legal'. 

By proactively checking your customer at various points in their 'life cycle', rather than simply awaiting non payment. 

Throughout all phases, every event or process is tracked through credit controller’s work flow with in-built monitoring procedures and excellent supporting management reporting. This allows the credit controller to be freed from the everyday, and time to concentrate on really exceptional cases.

A major benefit of this pro-active approach is that the relationship between credit control team and the customer becomes positive. 

Most credit controllers traditionally ring up only to complain that the account is overdue for payment. By actively managing the account, it becomes possible to see any difficulties in advance, and work them out with the customer before they turn into a problem.

If your current processes could be improved using Creditserve Business Reports, why not get in touch using sales@creditserve.co.uk? To find out more about Creditserve Business Information, visit www.creditserve.co.uk and complete an online enquiry form.

Top Tips on How to Effectively Credit Check a Non Limited Business.

Non limited businesses such as sole traders and partnerships have always been an issue for credit managers and business owners to effectively set credit limits.

Knowing where and how to obtain good quality information on sole traders and partnerships can be sometimes a tricky minefield beings that there is no central information centre for filing information. However this blog will help give you some pointers on how to credit check non limited businesses and where to go about doing so.

Firstly, when dealing with Proprietorships or Partnerships always ensure you get a complete application form filled out by the business owner(s). This application form should include trading address and details of the company but also the owner(s) current and previous residential property as well as trade referees. Always ensure that you have their authorisation to carry out credit checks on them as both businesses and individuals.

Secondly, use a credit reference agency such as Creditserve to double check the information given to you by the proprietor/partners and confirm there whether there is any derogatory information registered against them as individuals or the business. There are several ways to confirm the information given is correct, one is to carry out a business report on the company and the second would be to carry out a consumer credit check on the proprietor/partners at their residential address(es).

The third option is to request a fully in-depth credit report which includes all of the above plus much more, Creditserve are the only provider of bespoke credit reports in the UK and are recognised by all the major credit insurers and provide their credit information to a multitude of blue chip organisations both in the UK and Worldwide.

Creditserve also offer online business credit reports, consumer credit reports, AML (Anti-Money Laundering) credit reports, online overseas credit reports and in house debt recovery services.
