How to deal with customer bankruptcy

Description

Abstract: If a company has a customer who’s hovering on the brink of bankruptcy — or even wallowing through it — it needs to take certain steps to protect itself. This involves knowing about the different types of bankruptcy and the immediate steps to take when learning of one, including deciding whether to pursue repayment or write off the debt. If the former course is chosen, it will be important to participate in the court proceedings and follow certain procedures. Beyond all this, there are preventive measures a company can take to avoid being stung by customer bankruptcy in the first place.
