Despite an increasingly unpredictable trading environment, many businesses across various industries have actually relaxed their credit policies, offering more credit and greater payment flexibility to try and remain competitive. In doing so, this has often led to a significant cash flow imbalance, resulting in an increased reliance on external sources of funding which although providing short-term relief, often dials up the financial strain on a business.
The end result? A decrease in on-time payment of invoices, an increase in overdue invoices, and ultimately an increase in bad debt write-offs.
