Credit Control Services

Overview of Credit Control in the UK

Credit control in the UK is vital for businesses to maintain healthy cash flow and minimize bad debts. It involves setting credit policies, conducting customer creditworthiness assessments, and managing payment collections. UK companies often use credit reference agencies and specialized software to streamline these processes.

The practice encompasses establishing clear payment terms, regular account monitoring, and prompt follow-up on overdue payments. Legal frameworks, such as the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, support businesses in their credit control efforts, allowing them to claim interest on late payments from business customers.

Effective credit management not only improves financial stability but also fosters strong customer relationships. It’s backed by UK insolvency laws and debt recovery procedures, providing companies with options for recovering unpaid debts, including legal action when necessary. This comprehensive approach helps UK businesses maintain financial health and support growth.
