Industry Credit Groups

Businesses risk billions of dollars each year on sales on credit rather than cash. Credit professionals must be able to gauge the difference between fact and fraud, between hope and charity, and also between faith and foolishness. One of the best sources available to alert the credit professional in helping form a sound judgment in this delicate and difficult area is an industry credit group.

They permit credit professionals of different companies servicing the same customer, regardless of industry or trade, to compare information on collection history and provide a forum for the exchange of data as to the most recent payment practices.
