The closure of firms in the retail sector is making things tougher for all suppliers. What happens at corporate level impacts on the consumer. The employees of Woolworths, MFI and other retailers will be tightening their belts and will not have the disposable income to spend as in previous years. The knock on effect is not only within the retail market but also the supply industry to those firms. These will involve contracts for cleaning, security and shop fitting. All will feel the pinch more in a declining market. Costs and overheads will be looked at more closely, credit will be pushed to the limit and companies may ask for extended credit or take it without asking. Companies which are less financially aware will not realise that giving an extra month credit is the same as giving an interest free bank loan. Imagine going to your bank and ask for £10,000 on a 0% free loan for 1 month.
This is where debt recovery along with business debt collection comes in to play.
Longevity in the retail trade is no guarantee for continued survival, Woolworths has been around for almost 100 years. The winter of 2009 is being described as a High Street Bloodbath triggered in part by the biggest decline in consumer spending for 13 years.
All UK Limited companies can join www.due2pay.co.uk to stay one step ahead in the invoice payment stakes. To describe DUE2PAY in a few words is hard as the service provided is unique. It is a members club which allows members to find out who is paying late in GREAT BRITAIN Limited. Company credit checks are important for deciding on doing business with a new customer. DUE2PAY goes a few steps further by making information on late payers available, something which has not been done to this extent before.
The Watch List feature at DUE2PAY is available to all members. Any member can create a list of companies which they want to keep an eye on. When a watched company is listed on DUE2PAY the member is sent an email advising them of this. The member can log onto the site and immediately contact the supplier which made the listing. Consider it to be a UK wide breakfast club. The members details are confidential on the site but are encouraged to exchange contact details.
