About this ebook
Successful Debt Collection is presented by Les King, a small-business entrepreneur who also has a background in computer programming, systems design and IT consultancy.
He is currently owner and manager of Eurofile IT Recruitment Limited who specialise in the placement of Information Technology personnel and also provide a PC/network support service aimed at small businesses.
Other business interests have included the management of a ‘property maintenance’ company and consultancy in ‘presentation skills’.
In these hard times, it’s difficult enough to secure new business without having to worry about the issue of getting paid.
Only a small percentage of customers create problems in this area and most do so as a result of inefficiency or temporary cash-flow difficulties, rather than deliberate intent.
Sadly, there are a small minority who never pay for goods and services if they can possibly avoid it, causing disruption and unnecessary cost out of all proportion to their numbers.
However, with some basic precautions and simple strategies, the risk of bad debt can be minimised.
