If you could be certain that every customer would pay on time, running your business would be much easier, wouldn’t it? In reality, it’s difficult to tell up front who is going to be a model payer and who is going to make you jump through hoops for what you are owed. It’s as if you have to work twice over for the money. Bad payers can cause a cash flow crunch and leave you short of money to invest in your business or even pay your bills. Those slow payers also take up your businesses time and energies as you chase payment and are a distraction from building your business. In addition, if bad payers turn into non-payers because they go insolvent then that will cause even more stress. Many of these business failures were predictable and therefore avoidable. CPA’s credit reports can help you identify the risks and trde confidently .
