Posted by Gil Oliva on Fri, Dec 06, 2013 @ 07:15 AM

Do you ever offer terms to your customers without checking their commercial credit rating first?

The credit rating a company is given takes into consideration the likelihood it will meet its financial obligations. In other words, whether or not you will receive payment on your accounts receivable in a timely manner. Obviously, if their credit rating is bad, you may want to question whether it is worth doing business with them at all.

Posted by Aaron Zahedani on Wed, Nov 20, 2013 @ 07:00 AM

Are you an oilfield goods or services contractor looking for faster payment on your accounts receivables?  A specialist-factoring company, who understands the issues of your specific industry, can help to find an answer.
