CLAWSON, Mich. - Michimich -- Is it possible to avoid a B2B debt scenario before it starts?

In the world of B2B transactions, maintaining a healthy cash flow is critical. Recognizing early warning signs of financial distress in your clients can help you take proactive measures to lower risk before it escalates into a debt collection scenario. Here are the key areas to monitor:

Red Flags in Customer Payment Behavior

One of the earliest indicators of potential financial trouble is a change in a client's payment behavior. Be on the lookout for these warning signs:

• Missed or Late Payments: A previously prompt payer suddenly making late payments or skipping payments.
• Requests for Payment Extensions: Frequent requests to extend payment deadlines.
• Partial Payments: Clients making only partial payments rather than paying invoices.
• Changes in Payment Methods: A shift from regular electronic payments to checks or wire transfers.
• Disputed Invoices: An increase in invoice disputes, particularly over minor details.
