Credit Control and Debt Collection

Credit Control

If you’re a small business, particularly a successful growing start-up, then you’re probably running into cash flow problems as customers don’t pay quickly enough. You are a busy owner or manager fully occupied “doing the work” and simply don’t have time to chase customers for payment.

Before your bank manager gives you a hard time because you’ve over-stretched your overdraft facility, contact Alfred Ivy and ask for assistance. We will provide help on a one-off project basis, or as a regular on-going exercise to gently improve your customers’ payment habits and thereby improve the cash flow of your business. We will train your staff to carefully consider and watch cash flow every day and in all their dealings with customers, so that payment problems can be avoided or dealt with early before little problems become big disasters.

Debt Collection

Problems also arise for businesses when customer won’t pay, for whatever reason. Busy staff don’t have time to chase customers for payment and often a late payment will become a bad debt.

Alfred Ivy can assist you to politely but effectively recover payment from dilatory customers. Where necessary County Court proceedings are instituted, but only where absolutely required.

Fees for the above services vary and may be charged at an hourly rate of a fixed percentage of the debts recovered, as agreed with you the client in advance.
