Unpaid invoices cause real problems for businesses. Cash flow suffers, relationships with suppliers become strained, and the time spent chasing payments takes you away from productive work. Professional credit control can transform this situation, improving cash flow and reducing the stress of dealing with late payers.
Purely Payroll provides credit control services as part of our bookkeeping offering for businesses across Hull, Beverley and East Yorkshire. We chase outstanding invoices systematically and professionally, helping you get paid faster without damaging customer relationships.
How Our Credit Control Works
Effective credit control starts before invoices become overdue. We help you establish clear payment terms and communicate them properly to customers. When invoices are raised, we track payment dates and begin follow up promptly when payments fall due.
Our approach is firm but professional. We send reminder letters, make phone calls, and escalate matters appropriately when needed. Throughout the process, we keep you informed about progress and any issues that arise.
Benefits of Outsourced Credit Control
Many business owners find chasing money uncomfortable. It can feel awkward asking customers to pay, particularly when you have ongoing relationships with them. Having a third party handle credit control removes this awkwardness while often producing better results.
Customers tend to respond differently when contacted by a credit control service compared to the business owner. The formal approach signals that you take payment terms seriously and that overdue debts will be pursued.
Improving Your Cash Flow
Regular, systematic credit control directly improves cash flow. Money comes in faster, reducing the gap between delivering work and receiving payment. This means less reliance on overdrafts or other borrowing to cover operating costs.
Better cash flow also gives you more options. You can take advantage of supplier discounts for early payment, invest in equipment when opportunities arise, or simply sleep better knowing the money situation is under control.
Part of Our Bookkeeping Services
Credit control fits naturally alongside our other bookkeeping services. When we maintain your books, we already have visibility of outstanding invoices and customer payment patterns. Adding credit control to your bookkeeping package creates a complete solution for managing your finances.
As an ICB licensed practice (Practice Licence Number 17284), we handle all financial matters professionally and confidentially.
