No business can stay afloat without a firm grasp of how much money they’re owed, and from whom – and if customers don’t pay, this can have a seriously negative impact on long-term financial health.
This level 3 course is specially designed for those who’d like to gain a full understanding of the principles and practices of controlling credit and managing debt in commercial organisations, and the legal avenues that are available when customers fail to pay. You’ll discover how to maximise your chances of recovering money owed to you, and more importantly, how to pro-actively avoid financial problems. This course is ideal for small business owners, and no prior experience or education is required to enrol.
