The best way to reduce bad debt is to ensure your possible best not to be in debt at all. Once a business starts owning people or financial institutions, there's a probability that that business might gradually slip into bad debt if care is not taken. I know it can be hard for businesses especially startups not to be in debt but all business should have a Debt management team to for stall slipping into bad debt.

By bad debt I guess you mean when customers owe the business and not the other way round?
For me I have a strict no credit policy, I have explained to my customers why I can't afford to give them credit and they are abiding by it. Better to have stock than being owed.
 
Can I say avoid bad debt in business, or I say management of resources in business, the reason is that there lot of people that believe if they haven't go into borrowing fund for support of there business or loan for the support of there business, there business or product is liable not to move forward at all, there sentiment is fund moves upward business or product.
You see when you are committed towards what you do, you derive joy in it, I bet you, things will definitely fall into place for you.
 
Ways to avoid bad debt in business is to have good management skills in business, plan very well before buying or spending any money.

Introducing the threat of insolvency if bad debt levels are high
 
Once you know the financial capacity of the business nothing should make you incure debt on the business. You wouldn't want to go beyond the capability of the business because if you do the the debt will set in and this not good for the sustainability of the business.
 
Businessman I've been able to avoid bad debts by notifying customers before they buy like, no credit or we don't sell on credit here, with this it will sink to their subconscious mind of a customers and they will know that in such business you don't give out credit.
 
Bad credit is not a good thing for a business, it can make a business rundown totally. And the only way to avoid a bad debit is to prevent the selling of product for customers that not hold money. I can see some business Centre that will write it on entrance wall that 'No Credit To Day, Come Back Tomorrow' or they will right 'Pay Before Service'. This indicate that they are not selling credit product.
 
Set reasonable credit limits
Setting a sensible credit limit for new clients limits misfortunes through terrible obligation. Credit cutoff points can generally be expanded when another client shows their unwavering quality, and you're glad to broaden their terms.
 
Indeed, I think it is important that businesses maintain a good financial portfolio. However, there are some debts incurred that can be referred to as good debt. The bad debts usually come with low patronage and loss of revenue
 
know this sounds obvious, but when I first started out in business, I took any client I could get in order to win business, thinking that a busy office would mean success and big profits. Wrong! It led to low morale, low customer satisfaction and low profits, since I was not picking and choosing the clients that I wanted to work with. I learnt I am more comfortable servicing a particular client and so I now stay within our niche client base and we do not stray from that.

If your business incurs a bad debt it means one of your customers hasn’t paid for the service or product provided, and you’re unable to collect the money. Essentially, this sum is lost and needs to be written off in your books.
Failing to deal with frequent or high levels of bad debt can cause your business to decline, and suggests changes need to be made to credit control and credit management procedures.
 
Well the only way that I utilised in reducing bad debts it by granting credit to credit worthy businesses or individuals. this is the only way that I have used to avoid the situation of bad debts in my business because we can know those people that are prompt in paying off their debt from their history with how they have been paying off of their debts.

As a newly business,to avoid unnecessary debt,I must make sure I monitor the business very well I must reduce some of the interaction between me and those I know the can not provide meaningful things in to my business.
 
Bad debit in business is a big lose at the point when you start a new business and invest all your money in the business.Bad debit gives you a big lose in the business because bad debit never gives you chance to survive in your business and you are just to in the return policy
 
It’s possible to reduce the risk of bad debt by setting up effective policies and procedures around credit management, and making sure strong internal control systems are in place. This applies to taking on new customers as well as with regard to your existing customer base
 
I will never have a bad debt in my business because first of all I meant in one standard rule in my business organisation and the road is that I do not get a loan to start up any business I am doing,i only do business with my money I work for, this is one of the best way to free yourself from unnecessary debt.
