This risk is present in any type of loan, whether it is to an individual, a company, or a government.<\/p>\n<h2>Assessing credit risk<\/h2>\n<p>There are several ways in which credit risk can be assessed. One of the most common methods is through credit assessments. This looks at various factors, such as the borrower\u2019s income, ability to repay the loan, and past payment behaviour. Based on this, a credit rating is assigned to the borrower.<\/p>\n<h2>Importance of credit risk management<\/h2>\n<p>An important aspect of credit risk is managing it. There are numerous ways in which this can be done, such as diversifying the loan portfolio, setting limits on credit issuance, and establishing contractual agreements with borrowers on how credit risk will be managed.<\/p>\n<h2>How can you mitigate credit risk?<\/h2>\n<p>There are several ways to mitigate credit risk:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.factris.com\/en\/news\/creditworthiness\/\">Conduct credit research<\/a>: Conduct a thorough credit investigation before extending credit to customers. This will provide information about their payment history and financial situation.<\/li>\n<li>Put clear <a href=\"https:\/\/www.factris.com\/en\/news\/legal-payment-term-everything-you-need-to-know-factris\/\">payment terms<\/a> on paper: Set clear payment terms so that customers know what is expected of them and the consequences of non-payment.<\/li>\n<li>Monitor debtors closely: Monitor debtors closely and take timely action in case of problems. You can also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.factris.com\/en\/outsource-debtor-management\/\">outsource debtor management<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Limit the amount of credit: Limit the amount of credit to customers to an amount within your ability to bear.<\/li>\n<li>Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.factris.com\/nl\/factoring\/\">factoring<\/a>: Get invoices paid immediately and no longer run risk.<\/li>\n<li>Use collection agencies: Consider using collection agencies with customers who have payment issues.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid extending credit to high-risk customers: Refuse credit to customers with a poor payment history or uncertain financial situation.<\/li>\n<li>Put safeguards in place: Set up safeguards, such as a surety bond, to reduce risk.<\/li>\n<li>Exploring technological solutions: In the contemporary landscape, technological tools play a crucial role in mitigating credit risk. Advanced analytics and machine learning algorithms can provide real-time insights into a borrower&#8217;s financial health, enabling more accurate risk assessments.<\/li>\n<li>Global economic trends and credit risk: Consideration of global economic trends is paramount. Changes in interest rates, geopolitical events, and economic downturns can significantly impact credit risk. Staying informed about these factors allows for proactive risk management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By following these steps, you can mitigate credit risk and protect your business from financial losses. It is important to stress that no single method eliminates credit risk, but a combination of different methods can be used to minimise risk and keep the loan portfolio as safe as possible.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Credit risk is a critical factor to consider when issuing loans and managing the loan portfolio. By assessing and managing credit risk, borrowers can ensure that they have a high probability of repaying their loans. A good way to mitigate credit risk is to carry out efficient debtor management and use factoring.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;

Deze ratio\u2019s worden gebruikt om inzicht te krijgen in de ontwikkeling van je bedrijf. De liquiditeit laat zien hoe goed een bedrijf kan voldoen aan haar betalingsverplichtingen op de korte termijn. Dus hoe flexibel een bedrijf op financieel vlak is.\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:30px;\">Waarom is liquiditeit belangrijk?<\/h2>\nHet berekenen van de liquiditeit is belangrijk om te kijken of je bedrijf wel goed aan haar betalingsverplichtingen kan voldoen. Een gebrek aan liquiditeit kun je als bedrijf in de problemen komen. Op het moment dat je de korte termijn betalingsverplichtingen niet kunt voldoen, loop je risico dat bijvoorbeeld leveranciers geen producten meer willen leveren.\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:30px;\">Hoe bereken je liquiditeit?<\/h2>\nAls we het hebben over liquiditeit zijn er twee vormen: statische en dynamische liquiditeit. De statische liquiditeit geeft aan of je bedrijf kan voldoen aan de betalingsverplichtingen met de vlottende activa. Bij de dynamische liquiditeit wordt gekeken naar de verhouding van inkomende en uitgaande geldstromen. Om de liquiditeit te berekenen is het eerst van belang om te weten welke liquiditeitsvorm je wilt berekenen.\n<h3>Statische liquiditeit<\/h3>\nDe statische liquiditeit wordt dus gebruikt om te kijken of het bedrijf voldoet aan de betalingsverplichtingen met de vlottende activa. Dit wil zeggen de activa die binnen een jaar te gelde kunnen worden gemaakt. De statische liquiditeit kun je berekenen op verschillende manieren:\n\n<strong>Quick ratio<\/strong>\nDe quick ratio kun je berekenen met de volgende formule:\n\n<em>Quick ratio = Vlottende activa \/ Kort vreemd vermogen<\/em>\n\nIndien de uitkomst hoger is dan 1, dan kun je meteen voldoen aan je betalingsverplichtingen\n\n<strong>Nettowinstkapitaal<\/strong>\nDe nettowinstkapitaal kun je berekenen met de volgende formule:\n\n<em>Nettowinskapitaal: Vlottende activa - Kort vreemd vermogen<\/em>\n\nMet deze berekening kun je zien hoeveel geld overblijft na het voldoen aan de betalingsverplichtingen.\n\n<strong>Current ratio<\/strong>\nDe current ratio kun je berekenen met de volgende formule:\n\n<em>Current ratio: Vlottende activa \/ Vreemd vermogen<\/em>\n\nBij een uitkomst hoger dan 1 kun je voldoen aan je betalingsverplichtingen. Het beste is als je een waarde het tussen de 1 en 2. Als de current ratio hoger is dan 2 is het misschien verstandig om een deel hiervan te investeren in het bedrijf.\n<h3>Dynamische liquiditeit<\/h3>\nDe statische liquiditeit gaat vooral om de \u2018nu\u2019 en de dynamische liquiditeit kijkt vooral naar de toekomst. Dit doe je door te kijken naar de verhouding van de inkomende en uitgaande geldstromen in een bepaalde periode. Hiervoor is het belangrijk om eerst een liquiditeitsbegroting te maken en in te schatten wat er daadwerkelijk gebeurt met de geldstromen. Door de inkomende en uitgaande geldstromen met elkaar te vergelijken kun je zien of je aan je betalingsverplichting kunt voldoen.\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:30px;\">Hoe verbeter je de liquiditeit?<\/h2>\nOm de liquiditeit te verbeteren is het goed om eerst te kijken of het een structureel probleem is, of dat het een tijdelijk probleem is omdat je bijvoorbeeld een investering hebt gedaan. Indien het een structureel probleem is, kun je verschillende stappen gaan ondernemen:\n\n1. Zorg dat je niet afhankelijk bent van \u00e9\u00e9n klant\n2. Hanteer korte betaaltermijnen van 30 dagen en stuur op tijd herinneringen uit voor betalingen\n3. Werk met een <a href=\"\/nl\/nieuws\/wat-doet-een-factoringmaatschappij\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">factoringmaatschappij<\/a> zoals <a href=\"https:\/\/www.factris.com\/nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Factris<\/a> om bedragen eerder te ontvangen\n4. Maak persoonlijk contact met een klant als aanmaningen niet helpen\n5. Accepteer geen nieuwe bestellingen van klanten die niet op tijd hun rekeningen betalen\n6. Schakel op tijd een incassobureau in bij wanbetaling\n\nHeb je nog vragen over liquiditeit of hoe je deze met <a href=\"\/nl\/factoring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">factoring<\/a> kunt verbeteren?
