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.
