Every business big or small encounters situations where it has to deal with non-paying customers. You may have come across this situation in your own business. Your customer becomes a debtor who tries every possible way to escape the situation and delay paying your bill! This can cause you a blip in your own cashflow which can impact your business and its ability to pay its own bills.
There is no doubt in our view that smart business owners are outsourcing their B2B debt collection process to avoid the task of collecting B2B invoices that are beyond terms. This means they can deploy resources on more worthwhile business tasks. Collecting debt doesn’t create revenue, it’s a cost to your business.
So, here’s a list of the key benefits of outsourcing your B2B debt collection which will save you time, money and hassle!
Recovering long overdue B2B debts can be a cumbersome process. It does in our view require dedicated and trained staff to do the work which is a direct cost out of your businesses bottom line. Your salary costs (usually your largest overhead) will be impacted by the gross salary plus tax, Ni and pension, along with provision for sickness and holiday resilience cover. It all adds up, doesn’t it?
Outsourcing the debt collection task to a professional debt recovery agent will incur minimum costs and will help you take advantage of only paying for debts that are collected, rather than being stuck with a monthly cost that is payable regardless of the cash collected.
Debt recovery calls for a wealth of skills and expertise in recovering debts in various circumstances. It’s a no-brainer that when a professional debt recovery agent is hired the rate of recovering your outstanding debt is much higher. This means you can recover debts faster and with fewer arrears at any given time. The right debt collection agency partner acts as an extension to your company and is well versed with the best practices for collecting outstanding invoices. This means getting your invoices paid faster and with a higher percentage of success.
Every minute spent attempting to collect invoices is a minute spent not generating future income.
Outsourcing your business’s debt collection can be a worry because obviously, no one wants to upset a customer. But the benefits of outsourced debt collection can outweigh the negatives. The decision to outsource enables you to concentrate on your company’s strategic goals, productivity and providing a better customer service experience. An expert debt recovery agency partner, such as Shergroup, will work tirelessly to take this challenge off your desk and ensure the debt owed to you is paid in full and with any interest, you are entitled to such as under The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act.
Perhaps this is the best reason for choosing to outsource your delinquent accounts. It frees up your internal staff and improves your business’s ability to maintain a positive cash flow. This simplifies the collection constraints and enables you to do what you do the best, while a professional take care of the collection process for you.
Life becomes easy for you when you outsource debt collection services to an agency. A collection agency employs its in-house team for collections. Also, the collection staff are paid a set salary depending on how much debt is recovered by them. They use the latest debt collection tools to track down the debtors who have disappeared, or who are avoiding contact. Reputable debt collection agencies work on a commission basis, simply charging you for a successful collection.
The key to running a successful business is to maintain a healthy relationship with your clients even when they are reluctant to pay. Outsourcing your debt collection to an agency allows you to distant your business from playing the bad guy. You can limit your conversations with the clients to the goods and services you offer. An established debt collection agency will build a rapport with your clients promoting positive business relationships and better client retention.
