AboutAbout Us :Us :
A recent study on the growing sickness in industries and businesses reveals that BAD DEBT is
the one major cause for bankruptcy. In a buoyant economy, selling on credit has a number of
advantages, especially when it generates a larger volume of business as well as widens one's
market share. In fact, selling on credit often 'Makes' or 'Breaks' a sale and at most times gives
one that edge over competition. Yet, one cannot afford to take this area of credit control lightly,
as too many companies everyday are mounting with debts that are increasingly doubtful of
recovery

their business, they are having to borrow money just to fund their own sales ledgers - with the
most precarious risk to a company's profit on the sale being the interest expense from nonmost precarious risk to a company s profit on the sale being the interest expense from non-
payment on time.
Managing credit and collecting money therefore are the 2 most important
and vital factors which decide the fate of any business
