Your net income starts to decline and if you are typical you act with speed and strength enough to stop the slide illegally. You may be due to the economy, intensified competition, or sales staff. However, this will not lead to the proper adjustment of your business. We are a custom of creatures that deny the bad situation we are in, until external events gather attention.
Banks may refuse more credit provision or threaten to call loans. Or, major suppliers may complain if they do not pay on time. There is a possibility that a collection suit may be brought.
The essential problem in today's economic environment is that all types of creditors are undergoing financial pressure. They believe that it is for their own greatest benefit to stay on accounts receivable and do everything necessary to pay as agreed. And your company may be in front of them.
Please note that if small and medium enterprises are facing real challenges, the problem tends to expand and become uncontrollable. Before you know it, you are full of collecting activities. And your main people will learn their resume if they have not already left the door.
Of course, you need to think about ways to introduce new business in a cost-effective way and make the most of the benefits of customer list. But what are you doing to protect your company and your personal interests from the underlying possibilities?
Some of the more important things you might not consider, but which may be very important are as follows:
1. Restrict your personal exposure
Too many business owners personally sign a product or service. A certain amount of this can not be avoided in the first few years, but do not make it a habit. Most business credit cards are personally guaranteed. In the short term, please do everything that can pay off or refund the personal accountable account. Otherwise, your company may lose everything you get off the tube.
2. Bullet your business
If you have free and clear business assets, you can use it to secure additional funding. This may be wise depending on the situation, it may not be the case. But it certainly will bind your assets so that your business is "bulletproofed" against any judgment.
Your assets can also be protected by making supplier files "collateral friendly" to all your free and distinct corporate assets. If unpaid bills ruled, it is to protect them from seizure. We strongly recommend the service of excellent business lawyers for necessary documents and submission.
3. Protect cash in bank account
If your company is making judgments unhappy, one of your creditors' attorney's options is to attach your company's bank account (freeze and remove the requested cash). However, in Delaware's law, it is forbidden to prevent bank accounts from being installed in this way.
Banks have their own policies, but if your business is in a different state, setting up business accounts in Delaware is easy. You need to find a bank with a branch office in Delaware and near your business office. After setting up your new account, the only difference is that your account receives monthly statements from the established office.
4. Maintain a clear channel of communication with suppliers
Please inquire about payment time and payment schedule by all means. But be honest with your request. If you make false statements to endanger your suppliers, your reputation as a business owner will be compromised. You may end up with the wrong end of the lawsuit in order to do so.
5. Remember that it is not the only answer
In most cases, it is not the only option. It is for your company and unsecured creditors. However, it may not be to others. Please tell me the best highest profit. Please consider the source of your advice.
6. Consider training for debt management
Creditors inform you that your company needs their help and consideration to continue the business. this is,
a. ) Your company closes the door and does not pay anything, at least getting something from the deal.
b) Receive your payment at a feasible amount and timing for your company,
c. ) We will maintain the profit of your company's lifetime customer value even once you return.
But how do you arrange to do this? This brings us to our final point.
7. Get professional help
Good business debt management and convertors can maintain on accidental payment result basis. You will find a man who feels comfortable. Please tell me what you want to pass and what you want to achieve. Gain their feedback. Then I will be busy with the turning point of your company. Work is half work. Opportunity will come back soon.
