Threecommoncashflowmistakes

Unfortunately,manybusinesseswillsuffercashflowproblemsatsometimeandit

cause a lot of stress for business owners. However, if you understand the issues

before they become problems, it's possible to ensure your cash flow is always

positive and your business can continue to grow.

1) Don't overspend

It can be tempting to spend money before you have it, sometimes in the belief that

you should always buy the best, and often buying things that your business doesn't

really need.

However, keeping a reign on your spending can be one of the most cost effective

methods of ensuring cash flow remains in good order.

Take time to investigate everything about the product or service you are going to

spend money on, and ensure it is an investment rather than a cost.

It's sometimes worth checking back on the things you have bought in the past to

see if they've really brought a benefit to your business. If they haven't, learn from

that mistake and be more careful in the future.

Once the cash is spent, it's very rare you can get it back, so always plan ahead.

2) Don't purchase too much stock

It can be tempting to buy too much stock based on past experience or maybe even

just a hunch.

Don't.

Every stock purchase should be made based on good market intelligence and,

preferably, information from an up-to-date stock management system.

Always monitor your current stocks and look at historical records to see how

they've been used.

If you can, look at "just-in-time" methods of stocking where you can call on your

suppliers as and when you need a product.

3) Keep on top of your debtors

When people don't pay on time it can really upset your cash flow.

Always negotiate terms with your clients that won't leave you out of pocket for too

long, and make sure they keep to them.

If you have to wait months for payment, then it could mean that the company you're dealing with is in trouble itself, or they just have policies against paying on time.

If the latter, you need to ask yourself if you're happy with that.

If not, then are they the type customer you want?

If customers aren't paying, then it might be time to involve a debt collection agency

that can help you get your money on time.

Debt recovery FAQ

-

The first step is to write a formal letter to the debtor requesting payment by a

certain date, stating that if the payment is not made by this date, you will take legal

action. We’ll take care of the letter, sending it directly from Talbots Law to

reinforcethe urgency to your customer.

It’s also a good idea to have evidence of their original agreement of payment - this

could be a signed contract, or even a purchase order. If you can also provide

evidence of the terms and conditions that they agreed to before entering into the

agreement, even better. We also recommend that you find proof of the completed

service or product that they received.

If we can assist in recovering debt from your customer outside of court, we will.

Our team of debt recovery solicitors have a diplomatic but direct approach,

allowing you and your customer to discuss the situation openly while encouraging

the debtor to make the payment. We try to keep things simple - after all, we know

you don’t want to be involved in a long-running legal battle. Through firm

negotiation, our debt law solicitors succeed in collecting late payments for our

clients, giving them one less thing to worry about.

What if my debtor refuses to pay?

If you debtor refuses to pay their bill due to a disagreement about the quality of

service or product you provided, our debt recovery solicitors will encourage direct

contact with the customer and actively offer suggestions that satisfy you as well as

them, working together to find compromise.

If the debtor fails to cooperate and still refuses to pay, this will at least aid in

strengthening your position if the case goes to court.

If your customer refuses to pay because they claim they cannot afford to,

we’lladvise you based on the sum owed what we see as the best way to proceed.

Compromise could still be found, or a system of repayment agreed on.
