Is your cash collection process fi t for purpose? Keeping an eye on cash fl ow is a key part of business success


Cash fl ow and the challenge of maintaining it


is one of the key


reasons businesses struggle and fail. Despite this, cash collection is often perceived as a back-offi ce, secondary function, rarely receiving the same focus as marketing and sales. T e strength of a business’s invoice to cash process has a funda- mental impact on the bottom line and can be critical to delivering sales growth. An invoice collected is not only


realised profi t. As Ashley Barratt, CEO of Barratt, Smith and Brown, one of the UK’s leading outsourced credit and collections providers states, “businesses often see the


credit and collections process as providing a barrier to sales, when in fact an effi cient credit and collec- tions process can increase sales. Enabling the early identifi ca- tion and resolution of disputes,


it


removes barriers to payment. Ulti- mately, securing payment can get a customer off -stop and back trading with your business.” As a business grows, it’s not


uncommon for back-offi ce func- tions to be patched together with plasters rather than optimised for success. And ineffi cient cash collec- tion processes can lead to ageing ledgers and the potential for bad debt. Getting the right systems

and processes takes time, resource and money — which


can be challenging to deliver among other competing business priorities. T is is when outsourcing can provide valued support. Ashley Barratt says, “At Barratt Smith Brown we off er a full suite of services from white-la- belled credit control, contacting


your customers as you in your tone and voice, through third-party debt collection, to legal action. With cash collection our primary function, a business can leverage our expertise gained delivering solutions for FTSE 100 companies. And with resource already in place see results in days rather than months.”
