Bad Debts
Akopọ
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.
