This is a difficult time for smaller entrepreneurs who are often selected by companies with a view to cheat them by not paying because they know you are small and you wont pay lawyer to go after them. They may also ask for more work and pay the previous invoice, then you are stuck in a chain of unpaid or just paying the last bill.
The problem really is when you start with slow paying clients, you end up with bankrupt clients because slow paying shows that the client does not know how to manage their cash and finance.1- How to collect existing debt? The most efficient and low-key, high efficiency way is the 'xau ho, mat mat' tactics. Call them every day, post someone in black with a board in front of their office or home written on board "please pay me xxx Mn VND for my products delivered in May" or go to their bigger clients and "share, tam su" that you think this client has financial problems and will go bankrupt because they did not pay...
2- how to avoid this situation? Check their reputation as business person, ask people who have done business with them how they are. You can also take deposit and offer discount for who pays on delivery. if the client does not take your offer of discount, be very careful, it is a sign that they dont have the money to pay you!Good luck,

About this subject, I have no idea for the one who are not paying you. May be we should take some change in your payment term for the future customers such as a break down connected to specific milestones.
At this hard economy time, non paying customers every where, some time we need to understand them and maintain the partnership.
My brothers in law have a advertising companies, this time a lot of client in constructions, and steel industry have difficulty in business, then a lot of payment has been later for more than 3 months, but talking about them, he still very calm and believe that they will pay and really understand their situation.
With this a lot of customers return to him and stick with him.-

Thanks for your solutions, Mr. Pascal. We also offer discount for whom paying on delivery instantly as well as those who pay within certain few days. And you are right, some of them did not pay late after that. You know the situation of some medium companies with a little reputation but they still own big debts. I will use "harder measures" without afraid of the embarrassment and may go to their bigger clients to share as you suggested.

Đây là 1 giai đoạn khó khăn cho những người khởi nghiệp nhỏ, những người thường là mục tiêu cho các công ty tìm đến khi họ có ý định quịt tiền bạn, vì họ biết bạn nhỏ bé và sẽ không đủ sức thuê luật sư kiện họ đòi tiền. Họ cũng có thể yêu cầu bạn bán thêm hàng mới trả cho hóa đơn trước, và làm bạn mắc kẹt trong 1 chuỗi gối đầu ngày càng lớn hơn.
Vấn đề thực sự là khi bạn gặp khách hàng thiếu nợ, bạn có nguy cơ thấy họ biến thành khách hàng phá sản, vì nợ dai, trả chậm cho thấy khách của bạn đang không thể quản lý được thanh khoản và tài chính.1- Làm sao đòi được nợ…khó đòi? Cách hiệu quả, rẻ tiền nhất là dùng chiến thuật “mất mặt, xấu hổ”. Gọi họ mỗi ngày. Gửi người tới “biểu tình” trước văn phòng họ với mấy tấm bảng viết “làm ơn trả xxx triệu cho tiền hàng đã nhận từ tháng Năm”, hoặc tìm gặp khách hàng lớn nhất của họ để “tâm sự” những băn khoăn của bạn về việc họ có thể phá sản vì đang không còn tiền trả cho nhà cung cấp từ lâu rồi.
2- Làm sao tránh lâm vào tình huống này? Kiểm tra danh tiếng trên thương trường của họ. Xin ý kiến các đối tác đang làm việc với họ. Bạn cũng có thể nhận đặt cọc, và đề xuất discount nếu họ trả tiền ngay khi nhận hàng. Và nếu khách của bạn không muốn nhận discount này, hãy cẩn thận, đây là dấu hiệu rằng họ đang không có tiền để trả.Goodluck, Bao
