Credit management

Credit management encompasses the processes that companies use to manage the credit they extend to their customers. It's about ensuring that credit is extended in a responsible manner so that the company does not suffer large financial losses if a customer fails to pay. Credit management is often based on a company's credit policy, which sets guidelines for credit periods and credit limits.

Why is credit management important?

Effective credit management helps businesses reduce the risk of losses due to bad payers. It's impossible to eliminate the risk completely, but by implementing tight credit management procedures, businesses can reduce the likelihood of large financial losses.

How does credit management work?

Kreditstyring varierer fra virksomhed til virksomhed. For nogle virksomheder kan det være en simpel proces, hvor kredittider og betalingsvilkår overvåges. Andre virksomheder har dedikerede teams, der arbejder med at vurdere kunders økonomiske sundhed og løbende justerer kreditmaksimum og kredittider på baggrund af data som betalingshistorik og regnskabsoplysninger.

Credit management as a tool to improve liquidity

For virksomheder med stram likviditet er en stram kreditstyring afgørende for at sikre, at kunder ikke får længere kredittider eller højere kreditmaksimum, end hvad der er ansvarligt. Omvendt kan virksomheder med større likviditet vælge at tilbyde mere fleksible kreditvilkår for at tiltrække og fastholde kunder.
