Bad debt is epidemic in small and medium sized businesses
in the UK. It is suprising how many businesses do not take this as seriously as
you would expect and are happy to write off thousands each year rather than take legal steps to recover it.
Why is efficient debt collection so important ?
Official statistics show that the average profit
margin of UK companies is below 5% and
that the average written off for bad debts is £14,000 for every small and medium sized business in the country.
Let's say that you have a profit margin of 10%.
This means that for every £1 you write off as a bad debt, you have to earn a further £10 in increased turnover to
make up for the short fall.
If you have as much as £10,000 in bad debts then
the next £100,000 turnover you earn does nothing for your bottom line other than make up for the shortfall for the bad debt.
When viewed in this way, it's apparent that the sensible
course of action is to employ a solicitor to recover the bad debt and then enjoy the profit from the £100,000 of turnover
rather than it be wasted on paying for bad debt.
