Credit Control

Did you know that half of all new businesses fail during the first two years. All to often the cause of failure is not the quality of the product or service, the efforts and talents of the people, or the sales and marketing. It is quite simply financial failure - running out of money. In many cases failure could have been avoided by simple but effective planning from the outset. The discipline of ensuring prompt payment is called Credit Control or Credit Management, and it has to be a priority if a business is to succeed.
