Starting from the statistical data, according to which over 70% of default of companies, derives from an imprudent and unprofessional management of the outstanding payments of its customer portfolio and from the objective circumstance that a significant amount of outstanding payments undisputably and negatively reverberates on the company's ability to generate and increase its own cash flow, the need arises, in a market where the "Credit factor" it also constitutes an instrument of competitiveness, to have a correct credit process which is an important factor, indeed essential, to ensure business continuity and thus avoid unpleasant surprises.
In other words, Prevention is better than cure.
The foregoing is so important that the New Code of Business Crisis and Insolvency provides for and governs the alert procedures in the awareness that the possibility of safeguarding the values of a company in difficulty (c.d. “viable but distressed”) are directly proportional to the timeliness of the remedial intervention. Against, the delay in perceiving the signs of crisis means that, in most cases, degenerate into genuine irreversible insolvency.
When the company relies on a provider, internal or external, for the management of the activity (judicial and extrajudicial) of its credit recoveries, then we have to ask ourselves if something went wrong in the context of the prevention and management of risks inherent in trade credit.
In other words, it is necessary to verify whether the management of one's trade credit took place in a professional manner or not, i.e. whether it is neglected or instead careful and diligent., in the knowledge that, always, the management of this business aspect can always be improved.
