How then do you go about ensuring that this problem is banished from your business? One of the most efficient ways of doing this is by commencing debt collection proceedings against the company or individual. Developing a reputation for being proactive about the collection of fees or invoices owed to you can be no bad thing, as it will foster a culture of immediate payment by your clients because they will be aware that if they dont pay, you will follow them for it and not simply brush that fee note under the carpet!
