Bad Debts

Bayani Gaba-gaba

Every business that sells on credit faces the same uncomfortable question: what happens when a customer cannot, or will not, pay? Bad debts can quietly drain profits, choke cash flow, and even push an otherwise healthy firm into difficulty. Understanding how they arise and how to guard against them is a core commercial skill.

In this lesson you will learn what bad debts are, why they occur, and the tools businesses use to manage credit risk. You will explore credit control procedures, calculate provisions for doubtful debts, and examine how factoring and debt collection agencies help recover outstanding sums.

Takardar Darasi

Selling on credit is the engine of modern commerce. Retailers extend trade credit to keep stock flowing, manufacturers invoice on 30- or 60-day terms, and exporters ship goods weeks before payment arrives. Credit lubricates trade, but it also introduces risk: the risk that a buyer will never settle the bill. When that happens, the unpaid amount becomes a bad debt, and the seller bears the full cost.
