Credit report in depth

Are you unsure what credit limit to apply to a business customer's account? Do you need to know if your potential or existing business customer may be struggling financially?

An important part of running a business is knowing your customers are able to pay for your services. We can all use personal judgement, but that isn't always reliable. With the benefit of our business reports,
you are given a wider range of information with which to more gauge your customers' ability to pay.

For limited companies, our credit reports for UK businesses will give you the business trading addresses, Company Registration number, Director names, any financial data released for public viewing, date of last submitted accounts, any recent changes in the company, CCJ details, website details, and contact number. Information for sole traders, partnerships or LLPs is less in depth, but will give the trading address, primary contact, length of known activity, and industry comparison. For an extra fee, we can also give a carefully calculated suggestion for a credit limit to apply to your customer.

Credit control services

You may not enjoy chasing payments, or your methods may be less effective than you would like Outsource your credit control to the experts, and free up your valuable time to get on with what you do best.

Here at Tailored Credit Solutions, we pride ourselves on our professionalism. Our structured and proactive approach to credit control gives your business the edge it needs to succeed. Use our services, and you will benefit from faster customer payments, giving you more money to invest in your business with less of a need to resort to expensive finance options. Another positive factor is that you can avoid the need to employ a person with your business, also avoiding the associated legalities and payroll complications.

Either employ us to work on a fully disclosed basis, so that your customers know that we are an external party, or we can present ourselves as a part of your company. Your customers would not know any different. We can incorporate your logo, business name, and address into our letters, and even set up a secure e-mail account which will seem to have come from your own business.

We can handle any number of invoices, from just one by itself, up to to hundreds each month. There is no minimum period for using our services, and you can use us to chase up that one awkward customer, or pass us your entire sales ledger.

Starting with a free, no obligation discussion, we will ask a few details about your present set-up and customer contact preferences. All enquiries are confidential.

Invoicing

One of the many services we offer to our busy customers, is stand alone invoicing or template creation. If you want to focus on your main business activity, let us do this time consuming task.

If you do not want to waste your valuable time preparing invoices, we can prepare a template and/or issue your invoices for you instead. Just send us your logo if available, and full address details, for a master invoice template to be created. If you then want us to send the invoices directly to your customers (as if you had sent them yourself), simply send us your customers' name and address details, the full order breakdown, purchase order number and the customer's agreed payment terms. We will then issue the invoice and send a copy to you by e-mail for your records. If you already have your own invoice template, send that to us and we can use that instead. It doesn't get much easier than this! At just £2.00 for creation of the master invoice template, and £2.00 for each invoice typed up and sent to your client, you can free up your time for the important stuff.

Match our invoicing and credit control solutions, and you can leave us to get you hard earned money in.

Advisory Services

Our advisory service can cover a range of areas. From credit control process implementation, to debt recovery advice. Or maybe what to look for if you undertake your own credit searches.

You may prefer to tackle your own credit control, but have no idea where to start. We can advise you how to choose who to trade with, what credit limits to apply, how to set payment terms and how to word your chase letters.

With a wealth of experience, we can give you direction when you have bad debts to try to recover, from using your own resources, to employing an external organisation when your own attempts have failed.

Where your customers have become bankrupt or entered an IVA, or gone into liquidation, administration, or entered a CVA, we can help you understand what happens next and what impact the insolvency will have on outstanding payments.

Any advice will be given following an initial no obligation discussion, at a mutually convenient time, and confirmed in writing. Telephone and e-mail consultations can be arranged outside of normal working hours.

Chase letter templates

If you wish to use us on an undisclosed basis, or wish to tackle your own credit control function and are not sure of how to word your standard letters chasing payment of invoices, let us do the work. If you send us your logo and business contact details, we will set up the full letter, leaving just your customer name and address to be added. A suite of up to four letters can be produced to your specific requirements. You can then retain these letters to use when chasing payments from your customers, or leave us to do the chasing on an undisclosed basis so that you customers think that we are based within your company.
