Credit risk means the likelihood of your business not receiving money that you’re owed due to a debtor not paying. If you invoice your customers, credit risk is essentially the probability that your invoice might not be paid on time, or at all.
Credit control is the process of a business managing and regulating the credit it extends. The purpose of credit control is to ensure that the business’ customers pay their outstanding invoices on time and to minimise the risk of bad debts or non-payment. The credit control process involves credit checking existing and potential customers to see how likely they are to pay on time, as well as determining the maximum amount of credit that should be extended to them.
Credit risk management is the process of reducing the risk of non payment to your business. It involves practices like credit checking your customers to see if they are likely to pay on time and keeping track of any changes so you can proactively take action if needed.
Credit risk management will have a significant impact on your’ business’ cash flow and overall financial health. Effective credit risk management helps you identify and mitigate the risk of non-payment or default by customers, ensuring your cash flow is well protected and your business can continue to operate.
