Always chasing overdue invoices? Spending hours or even days each month following up on payments—or worse, is your cash flow under pressure? Then it’s time to invest in credit management! But what exactly is it, and why is it so essential for your business? You’ll find out in this blog.

The two terms are often mixed up. Let’s clear it up once and for all: credit management and accounts receivable are not the same. Credit management is about being proactive. It focuses on streamlining invoicing and credit handling and includes the entire payment process. You manage everything related to payments—down to the last detail. Accounts receivable is more specific and mainly deals with unpaid invoices. Also very important, but it only comes into play once a problem has already occurred. With credit management, you take action before issues arise, by setting up a solid strategy to minimize debtor risks.

Opting for credit management means opting for control. You gain a much clearer overview of incoming payments and can maintain better financial oversight. The goal? A financially healthy business. How? By collecting invoices on time and properly assessing risks. Choose a credit management solution tailored to your business model. Still handling all your invoicing manually? You’ll be surprised how much time you’ll save through automation. That financially stable company you’ve always dreamed of? It’s within reach with credit management solutions.
