The risk
Extending terms to the wrong entity, or missing a change in a key account, is exactly where bad debt starts.
Key facts
- Confirm the customer's legal entity and NZBN before terms.
- Check current status and registered details.
- Keep a record on the account.
- Monitor the accounts with the most exposure.
See exposure before it becomes debt
A check at the point terms are set, and monitoring on the largest accounts, means a change reaches you while you can still act.
