How exactly are you going to gain by going back to collecting?

It makes no sense to me at all.

You say that for the last 6 - 7 years you have relied on customers to send payment, you now have around 1k outstanding on a regular basis, if you have managed till now then whats the problem? you run your business and personal life from your income.

If you start to collect,  then for a short while your "takings" will increase but NOT your turnover or profits.

After a few months you will be bringing in exactly the same each month as you are now only YOUR workload will have increased.

It makes no sensai

We have had this and as I have a 14 days payment scheme...it can get very high the amount owed, so we now have our t&c's and in them it is clear that should a customer choose to pay in excess of 14 days, then we charge a 5 euro late fee for every payment request.

It is working well...

you say 5 euros do you work outside the uk

Dont know, suppose im just getting sick of it being outstanding all the time. Also change in my wifes circumstances with work.

Obviously turnover or profits wont increase. But money WILL be in my pocket at end of week, not end of next month.
