What is Credit Control?
Understanding credit control and how it works
Credit control is the process by which businesses manage and monitor customer credit to minimise bad debts and ensure timely payments. It includes setting credit limits, assessing creditworthiness, sending reminders and following up on overdue invoices. Effective credit control maintains positive cash flow and reduces financial risk.
