Is Your Business Protected from Credit Risks?

Earlier this month, Forbes published a great article on “protecting a business against partners’ credit woes”. The article eluded that, while commercial bankruptcies have decreased the past three years, they are still on pace in 2012 to eclipse pre-recession levels. In many cases, these bankruptcies are caused, or at least influenced, by poor credit decisions companies make regarding their customers, vendors and other business partners.

According to a study referenced in the article, accounting professionals revealed that approximately two-thirds of business clients don’t do enough to ensure creditworthiness before extending credit. That’s where we come in.
