Businesses require a method and resources to oversee the process in order to deal with situations where payments are late and spread out. The greater the business’s chances are of collecting the debt, the more well defined and widely discussed the collections process is.
According to studies, your chance of recovering an unpaid invoice’s balance lowers to 74 cents per dollar when more than 90 days have passed. If you thought that was awful news, wait until you consider how that will affect the operations of your entire company.
Consider the scenario when your net margin is 10%. In other words, after paying all your suppliers, staff, sales commissions, and other costs like rent, electricity, and communication, you still have 10 cents of pre-tax gain for every $1 of revenue earned in Nigeria.
Let us also imagine that according to your accounts receivable aging report, you have $50,000 in bills that are three months or older. To make up for the money that will not be collected because you don’t have the resources or system to collect it, your business needs to make $130,000 in sales. And that is presuming you keep the receivables from aging further. It becomes worse the longer it takes.
