Debt Recovery Management

Why is debt recovery management necessary?

If you have been in business for any length of time or if you are an organisation of small or medium size, you will soon discover that you have a portfolio of customers or clients who you have given trade credit to or who owe you money for some other reason. Sometimes, unpaid debt can build up over time against the sound running of a business and seriously threaten the integrity of the organisation. For this reason, having a debt recovery management process in place is essential to ensure that a portfolio of small debts do not build up to mean that your organisation is losing a substantial amount of its revenue through unpaid invoices, trade creditors and other parties to your commercial process which could owe you money.

What is debt recovery management?

Briefly, the concept of debt recovery management means that you have a process in place which helps you to appropriately respond to debts. Debts owed to your business can take shape in all sorts of forms and sizes and the appropriate response will also depend on what the motivations of the person who is not paying are. When you have a debt recovery management in place it means that you will be able to to graduate the seriousness of your response from the debtor who owes you a small amount and is simply forgetful to a debtor who deceitfully and malciously gets deeper into debt with you with no intention of ever paying and using every possible means to escape the obligation to pay for goods or services. If you don’t have a process like this in place you risk trying to crack a peanut with a sledge hammer and hitting a boulder with a tooth pick. Neither of these is an appropriate response for the given situation but if you have a debt recovery management system in place, you can response to each of these situtations appropriately.
