Due to the recession, many business owners are working longer hours which means they have little time to spare to keep a tight reign on their cash flow. Astre Credit Control Solutions is a local business that can help ease the strain by managing their credit control for them.

The founder members Maxine Cook and Ravie Murtza wanted to get back to the essence of real credit control at its best, stripping away old processes and targets and creating good customer relationships instead.

Maxine said: "We are aware that in today's climate businesses can struggle with a growing backlog of debt whilst trying to meet their own costs. We can step in at very short notice to help tackle the ledger and blitz outstanding debts to create a fast injection of cash. We also help businesses ensure they have correct procedures in place that make for better credit control in the long term.

"We provide a friendlier way to tackle debt collection, as once a debt is placed with a debt collection agency there is usually little chance of relationships being salvaged. The team is already proving to be a great success. Our nickname is the 'A Team'!"

Astre Credit Control Solutions know that businesses occasionally just want some advice which they are always happy to provide free of charge.
