Bad debts can strike at any time. Even global household names can fail. In the ‘worst case’ scenario, the consequence of a bad debt could be terminal for your own business. Smaller bad debts can still leave a gap in your cashflow; worse than that may be the fact that you’ve lost a customer and hence their future purchases.
