Some of our SRS (Special Reporting System) clients have been asking for access to a "virtual report file" - this would give access to important client documents and may be a lifesaver if a customer audit is looming and an all important piece of paper has gone missing.

As all good companies state "You asked for it and we've done it"

Business can be a minefield and (just to mix metaphors) there are plenty of Sharks in that minefield.

The basic business model that we work to is:

Sell

Service

Collect the Debt

All parts of this model are important - no point selling if you can't service the sale, no point selling if the debt you have created is un-collectable. No point messing the service up as the debt then stays a debt.

We try to minimise the risk of not being paid (it can crucify a business) by credit checking every limited business that we deal with and being paid up front by sole traders under a certain annual value. This isn't a harsh move - it's a sensible business move.

Our credit checking does not stop there - our system is "wired up" to monitor all of our existing customers for "credit worthiness" and reports back daily via email if the credit score changes. Credit scores go from 1 to 99 (99 being "I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole" and 1 being a "very well run business that you would be happy to recommend to your old granny"

We come in with a score of 1 by the way ! (I knew you were wondering !)

You could say that we constantly Risk Assess our trading environment and make sensible moves to minimise bad debt risk.
