How is the Supply Chain Affecting Selling on Credit?

Have you been experiencing supply chain disruptions?

Are they affecting your production?

If you’re a manufacturer, you’ve likely noticed the backups in the supply chain. According to an article from Fast Company, a typical shipping container now spends 20% longer in transit than before the pandemic. From port disruptions to trucking challenges, getting your products to your customer can be difficult and can have ramifications when selling on credit.

Your customer typically doesn’t have to pay until they receive your products. Here are some situations that could affect your payment:

  • If they receive the products later than expected, your cash flow could be impacted. 
  • If your contracts detail a time period in which the customer will receive the products and that time period is missed, the customer could argue that it’s a breach of your contract and could stall their payment. 

Learn how the supply chain can affect cash flow.

Searching for a commercial collection agency that’s been deemed a “certified agency” by the Commercial Law League of America (CLLA) is a good place to start. According to the CLLA, being a certified agency means the agency has been proven to “adhere to relevant regulations in the collection of commercial debt; use generally accepted accounting practices – and adhere to standards to protect and safeguard their clients’ funds.” 

Any debt collection agency can apply to become a certified agency but must undergo a rigorous application screening to prove they meet the CLLA’s financial standards. Certified agencies are considered industry excellence and are endorsed by the International Association of Commercial Collectors (IACC).

RSD Can Assist During the Entire Collection Process

What does the credit collection process look like?

How can you prevent further collections?

Generally, credit collection involves contacting the debtor, figuring out the reason for nonpayment, creating a solution to recover the money you’re owed, and then depositing the funds into your account. This process may seem straightforward, but there can be obstacles at different points in the process that require more specialized credit collection services in Michigan.

During the credit collection process, we may find your debtor has filed for bankruptcy, making them a debtor in possession. Now what?  Do you or your team have experience with bankruptcy laws and know what your rights are? If not, let RSD handle these situations for you. We have resources and bankruptcy attorneys available to help navigate these choppy waters. If you’ve been put in a tough spot due to a debtor’s cash flow situation, we can determine which solution makes the most sense: collections, portfolio liquidation, litigation or settlement. 

After the process has been completed and the debt has been collected, you might decide you don’t want to go through this again. We have consultative and credit policy creation services that can correct issues that affect sales, cash flow, and general operation, as well as create a strong credit policy that minimizes the risk of selling on credit. It’s our goal to improve your credit risk management system and keep your company on its feet!

Credit Collection Services Can Include More Than Just Debt Collection!

Looking for data on a debtor?

Or a potential client?

Before collection begins, or even before a signing a contract with another organization, you might want a credit report investigation to see if your debtor, or the potential person you’ll be working with, has healthy financials. We work with Experian to provide unbiased business credit reports that can give you a peek into their financial operations. Looking for a little more data? RSD can provide actual trade and debt information on your clients or potential clients. Still looking for a little more data? Credit worthiness isn’t just about financial data. We work with investigative services to curate background checks, asset searches, and bank account verifications. We can even send a field investigator to the debtor’s location to determine their physical status.
