One of the major problems small business owners cite when questioned about running their own business is ‘cash-flow’, and knowing who they should be doing business with.
On average, nearly two thirds (60 per cent) of SMEs in the UK (according to research from Sage), have had to wait for 60 days or more for payment; while almost half (47 per cent) have experienced waits of 90 days or more. As a result, cash flow suffers, and small businesses suffer. Research by the Credit Management Research Centre reported that the average small business incurs £14,000 worth of bad debt write off every year.
So how do you go about resolving cash-flow problems and choosing reliable, credit-worthy businesses with whom to trade?

Maintaining awareness of your own company’s details and credit score is vitally important for any business, and even if the impact is less dramatic than in this example, your company’s credit score can be impacted by incorrect data, errors or data not reaching credit reference agencies like Dunn and Bradstreet. CreditHQ is the simplest and most cost-effective way to set your mind at rest and closely monitor the credit status of your company. Not only can you see the credit score that other companies use to assess whether to place an order with you, but you can also check Companies House information – ensuring you’re up to date.
