Due Diligence Before Offering Business Credit

Thinking about offering credit? Start here first. Before selling on credit terms, ask the one question that really matters:

What happens to my business if they don’t pay? Smart credit control starts before the contract is signed. A few essentials:

  1. Do a company search
  2. Check for bankruptcy, director bans & current litigation
  3. Use the 5 C’s to assess risk:
    • Character
    • Capacity
    • Capital
    • Collateral
    • Conditions

Due diligence doesn’t just protect your money, it protects your peace of mind.
