Milena Videnova from Coface presented some data on the problems with payments of buyers, which are at some level disturbing - an essential part of the overdue invoices pass into permanent bankruptcy.  To keep the competitiveness SMEs can continue working on deferred payments using the opportunities for researching the financial condition of its clients and insuring the non-payments risks. This is a complex solution that can ensure stability. In practice, companies often require deferred payment, not because they are in bad condition, but because in need of liquidity. She added that „risk can be decreased by counting not only on public information but also on expert opinion, that can be requested from Coface. Good receivables management ensure stability and contributes to increase competitiveness. We are in one boat with our clients, we have to keep it safe.“
