QUESTION: WHAT ARE CREDIT PROCEDURES AND WHY DOES MY BUSINESS NEED THEM ANYWAY?
ANSWER: CREDIT PROCEDURES ARE THE REGULATIONS WHICH IMPLEMENT THE CREDIT POLICIES. WITHOUT CREDIT PROCEDURES, YOUR PEOPLE WILL NOT KNOW HOW TO MAKE YOUR WONDERFULLY THOUGHT OUT CREDIT POLICIES WORK.

Previously we discussed how to implement credit policies.  The next step is to implement credit procedures which are the detailed statements which make the policies function.  Credit procedures represent the daily operating instructions for the credit department to follow.  In other words, the answer to “How do I do it?” is “See your procedure manual.”

Credit procedures must be understandable to everyone in the business.

Issue: November 21, 2018

QUESTION: WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE “CREDIT POLICIES” AND WHY DO WE NEED THEM?
ANSWER: CREDIT POLICIES ARE LONG-TERM GUIDELINES AND PLANS FOR YOUR BUSINESS. WITHOUT THEM, YOU RISK THE FUTURE OF YOUR BUSINESS THROUGH LOST SALES, BAD DEBT WRITE OFFS, OR BOTH.

You need to establish, implement and communicate effective credit policies throughout your organization.  Credit policies need to be practical.  You should not create policies if you or your business do not intend to follow them.  Your credit policies must “fit your business.”  They must work in the “real world” as it exists today.
