FREE Debtor Collateral Review

Following an initial conversation, we always suggest that the first step is to get us out to site to carry out a comprehensive Debtor Collateral Review. We do this initial review at NO CHARGE to you, regardless of the outcome. It includes:

On-site visit, usually within 24 hours but guaranteed within 48 hours, to thoroughly review the following:

• Order to Cash Process

• Aging Profile of the ledger and movements over recent months

• Details of any issues and queries

• Invoices and Backing paperwork

• Staff – current and historical, and procedures followed

• Reconciliations being produced

• Verification of Outstanding Balances if required

While on-site we will meticulously analyse all aspects of the debt against which your Funds are secured. We call on our extensive expertise in all industries to find issues and investigate them, before reporting to you with our findings and offer solutions on day one.

We have no set agenda other than to investigate and confirm the actual status and Real Value of the Ledger, and to propose sensible solutions that we can then follow up in a variety of ways as shown below.

As mentioned before, there is no charge for this initial review, regardless of the outcome.

Credit and Collections Policy and Procedures, including Staff Review

This is for Invoice Finance Clients who have good intentions, but whose Collections are not really meeting expectations or who don’t seem to know how to improve things.

The Funder may have highlighted that there are issues with the way the Facility is being run and they want you to seek some assistance as the Disapproved and Aging Amounts are growing, and the Facility is not running how it should.

Credebt have considerable experience in updating Policies and Procedures or even writing them from scratch. We always have in mind what the business needs to do to maximise their Facility and keep the Funder on your side.

As part of our service, we will ensure that the staff members dealing with Collections and Invoicing are adequate for your needs and that sufficient training and resource is in place to effectively collect the Debt.

You will see the benefits of this very quickly.

Collections Assistance

Our Debtor Collateral Review may show that the day-to-day Collections are meeting expectations, but that for a variety of reasons, ranging from Staff changes to poor Historical Query Management Controls, a part of the Ledger, usually the End Column, is too high and needs addressing.

Credebt will assist with one or several tricky Debts and maximise the Recoveries. We will reduce the Overdue Debt to your satisfaction.

While assisting in this way we will also suggest Process Improvements to prevent the same issues reoccurring.

Take Over Collections – Intensive Care

This is where the Funder has lost confidence in your ability to collect your own Debt and, following our visit and Debtor Collateral Review, it is obvious that you need immediate, comprehensive help.

This can be carried out in any situation where the Ledger needs to be much and quickly improved.

Credebt will take over the Collections, either confidentially or disclosed. We will transform the Aging profile very quickly, using our expertise to reduce Overdue Debt, resolve Queries, improve the Order to Cash Process and ensure you have all the tools you need to prevent issues from reoccurring.

Improve Relationship between Funder and Client

Having Credebt working with you will vastly improve any relationship with your Funder, as we can see the situation from both angles and can act as the conduit to getting things back on track.

Demonstrating to your Funder that you have engaged with experts will give them the confidence that you are getting the best possible advice and assistance.

This can lead to improvements in Prepayment Percentages, reduce Disapproved Amounts and Queries and ensure that the Reconciliation process is slick and accurate.
