| IN YOUR CORNER
Life can be miserable when you owe everyone money that cannot pay. The phone will not stop ringing, and you are afraid to answer it. Just when you wonder where to turn, an ad comes over the radio for a service that promises to dramatically lower your interest rates, pay off your debt more quickly, reduce your credit balances, stop late and over-limit fees, eliminate harassing phone calls, and avoid bankruptcy. It sounds too good to be true, but you are desperate. Guess what? It probably is. Dear Bogey and Bryan: I am in over my head in credit card debt and cannot even pay my monthly minimums. The telephone calls from creditors are driving me crazy. I have heard advertisements from companies that claim an ability to slash my debt by up to sixty percent, work out a payment plan, stop the late and over limit fees, and bring down my interest rates.

Extending credit can be risky
While many small businesses could not exist without extending credit, it is a high-risk venture for the business owner. Why? It deals with the limited amount of ready cash that remains in the business at any one time. The more outstanding debt, the less cash in hand. If you plan to offer credit, manage the process carefully. A cash-flow analysis is necessary to assure you will not run out of cash when extending credit. Vendor payments and operating expenses must be met while awaiting payment from customers. Often businesses will offer a cash discount for early payment, which speeds up the cash flow and lowers risk. Credit must come with firm controls. The objective is to achieve the greatest sales with the least amount of loss. A written credit policy is crucial. The policy should state specific standards under which credit will be extended, such as a good credit history from a credit bureau or Dun & Bradstreet report, plus good bank references.
