Hassle-free B2B Direct Debits
Debtors who always pay on time. This is the dream of every entrepreneur. Unfortunately, the reality is not always as simple as that. Still, you can do more than you think, with a B2B Direct Debit for example. With a B2B Direct Debit you can ‘automatically’ collect amounts from the account of your business customer. Interesting side effect: your client cannot claim a refund of the Direct Debit. This significantly reduces your credit risk!
Much more security with a B2B Direct Debit
B2B Direct Debits differ from ‘normal’ (Core) Direct Debits. The main difference between the two types of Direct Debits is that with a B2B Direct Debit your customer cannot reverse the payment. With a normal Direct Debit, your customer can claim a refund up to 8 weeks after the collection date without having to justify this. With a B2B Direct Debits, you are sure that you will actually be able to collect the amounts due. In the past there was also a difference in execution date but this is not longer applicable since 20th November 2016.
Too much fuss?
Security is nice but it has its price. Your customer is personally responsible for registering the B2B Direct Debit at his bank. And this sometimes goes wrong. Your customer forgets to take care of this. The (paper!) form contains an error, causing the Direct Debit to be invalid. This means that the whole procedure has to be started all over again, with all the delays that this implies. And in the meantime, your credit risk remains high. Entrepreneurs, therefore, often find that setting up a B2B Direct Debit is too much hassle and for reasons of convenience often opt for the normal Direct Debit that offers less security. For no good reason at all!
