Debt Collection Service  Atradius logo                      

Late and non-payment of debts is a serious issue for businesses, particularly for SMEs, with one in four insolvencies in the UK resulting from bad debt.  The interest cost of waiting for late payment can be bigger than bad debt losses and can total more than the net profit.   Optimising cash flow and avoiding bad debts have to be two of the key business objectives for any successful venture.

Business West has teamed up with the UK’s leading credit manager, Atradius, to offer full members an exclusive discount on Atradius’ standard rates for debt collection services in the UK and internationally.  Payment is due only if the debt is collected (with a nominal file-opening charge for overseas collections).

NOTE: Non-members can access this service but are not be eligible for the discount.

To discuss your debt collection needs with Atradius call us on 0800 980 2789 or email membership@gwebusinesswest.co.uk (We will refer your enquiry to Atradius who will contact you directly.)

Why Collect?

  • 1 in 4 insolvencies are the result of bad debt.
  • 18% of UK business failures are due to bad debt.
  • With a profit margin of, say 4%, if you suffer a debt of £20,000, you will need additional turnover of £500,000 to break even.
  • Cash outflow results in increased borrowing – and more bank charges and interest cutting into your profits.
