14 Mar 2022

Appointing debt collectors in Dubai will succour your company regain its cash flow by recovering outstanding (or written off) debts from debtors located within the country or outside. Wikipedia describes the term ‘barter’ as a system of exchange wherein participants in a transaction hand over goods and/ or services in exchange for other goods and/ or services without using a (currency) medium of exchange. However, it is apparent that this simultaneous need for particular goods and/ or services was rare, and therefore came the need for a medium in which trade could be conducted. This medium was money. Although, it clearly did not stop there. With advancements in trade, came various different modes of modes – such as credit, cheques, LCs, etc. Years later, one of the main issues that the corporate environment of the twenty-first century faces is the collection of debt. Suppose you are a manufacturer of let’s say – tomato paste – and you wish to sell your products in the local market. 

The general payment terms may vary between credit of thirty (30) days to credit of ninety (90) days. This means that your client would pay you to post the period from the date of your invoice. However, traits of trade give rise to numerous issues in such instances. The customer or client may fall bankrupt, they may face legal or compliance-related issues, their clients may not pay them, etc. Basically, it is an endless world of probabilities and variables. Another issue that clients generally face is the effect that bad debts (or delayed debts) have on the cash flow of business. Companies (especially entities that rely on a cash-based revenue model) are generally affected to a larger extent by the failure of their clients to clear their outstanding (or pending) amounts. Therefore, it is pertinent for one to obtain legal advice in order to engage and establish a line of communication with debtors in order to recover funds.
