One of the best ways to prevent things like this is to not sell credit at all, or you simply include a late payment fee.

I simply get my customers to agree on a favourable date to pay, failure to pay on the stipulated date will attract a fine or an additional funds. This is agreed before the product is taken on credit. Most of them end up paying before time.

Your strategy is smart because you have agreed on early payment dates with your customers, and late payment penalties encourage them to be more punctual and reliable. Nowadays, many customers, after understanding the late payment fees, choose to pay early to avoid further losses. This helps to stabilize your cash flow and build trust, because the terms are clear and transparent. It makes customers understand that credit is not free, but it comes with responsibility. This not only improves your company’s balance sheet, but also gives you peace of mind knowing that the funds will arrive on time without any problems.

Some companies charge a late payment fee for those who pay late. If the person does not pay eventually, the company can take legal action.
