At Canadian Corporate Legal Services, we see many business owners hesitant to delve into a client’s financial background for fear of appearing unfriendly. But here’s the secret: a thorough credit check isn’t an insult, it’s professionalism.
In today’s economic climate, where cash flow issues are more common, taking steps to protect your business is crucial. Verifying critical information like credit history and references demonstrates good business practice and, in most cases, is well-received by clients. They understand the necessity of responsible credit extension.
Think of it as setting clear expectations from the start. By establishing your creditworthiness standards, you avoid potential financial headaches down the line. Don’t let the fear of a strained relationship prevent you from taking this crucial step.
Remember, a healthy business relationship is built on trust and transparency. By implementing a clear credit check process, you’re not just protecting yourself, you’re fostering a long-term, reliable partnership with your clients.
