Debt Recoveries Australia
Why Outsourcing Account Receivables Makes Good Business Sense
More than 60% of Australian small businesses fail within the first three years of operation. Although, given the never-ending challenges that business owners face on a daily basis, this may not come as a surprise to many.
In an ideal world, all customers would settle their invoices within the agreed payment terms; however, despite payment times improving in Australia, very few businesses ever pay on time, causing frustration and anxiety as it impacts a business’s day-to-day cash flow position. Every business owner, regardless of industry, accepts that unpaid bills are a part of doing business, but they may be aware of specific strategies they can use to help reduce or even eliminate such risks.
Delinquent debtors are an expensive problem that can harm your company’s bottom line.
Although there are several options for dealing with bad debtors, they can either be commercially unviable (litigation or mediation), ineffective (using minor claim processes such as a civil tribunal), or disrupt the efficacy of the business activities (committing most competent staff to the task of debt collection). Furthermore, performing your own collection actions can be a frustrating and time-consuming process, potentially exposing the company to regulatory and technological risks.
The most practical solution to all of these issues is to hire a debt collector to work alongside the accounts receivable/recovery staff.
A skilled debt collector is well-versed in all relevant industry laws and regulations. Debt collectors are required by law to act in the best interests of your business as an agent, so rest assured that they will always strive to collect the money as quickly as possible. Furthermore, commission-based collectors, such as Debt Recoveries Australia, operate on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis, implying that using their services is a risk-free move.
