Services
How Sterling can help you get paid.
Professional outsourced credit control, debtor ledger management, debt recovery and consultancy — each designed to turn outstanding invoices into cash.
Outsourced Credit Control
The problem
Your team is spending too much time chasing invoices, payment promises are being missed, and overdue debt is creeping up — but you don't need or want to hire a full-time credit controller.
The solution
Sterling acts as your credit-control function. We manage the chasing process, follow up on promises and keep your ledger moving — so invoices get paid on time without adding headcount.
What Sterling does
Benefits
- Get paid faster, without recruiting
- Free up your internal team
- Consistent, professional customer contact
Suitable for
Businesses without a dedicated credit controller, or whose existing function is overloaded.
Debtor Ledger Management
The problem
You can't clearly see who owes you money, how much is overdue, or what's being done about it. The ledger is managed reactively, not proactively.
The solution
Sterling takes ownership of your debtor ledger — giving you clear visibility of every outstanding balance and the action being taken on each account.
What Sterling does
Benefits
- Clear visibility of what's owed
- Proactive management, not firefighting
- Defensible numbers for your FD and board
Suitable for
Growing businesses with increasing debtor ledgers that need proper, structured management.
Debt Recovery
The problem
Some accounts won't respond to normal credit-control activity. Invoices have aged, promises have been broken, and the balance is now genuinely overdue.
The solution
Where routine chasing hasn't worked, Sterling escalates through structured debt recovery — pursuing overdue balances with a clear, agreed approach.
What Sterling does
Benefits
- Recover balances that have stalled
- A clear next step when chasing has failed
- Simple, transparent pricing
Suitable for
Businesses with overdue accounts where normal credit control hasn't resulted in payment.
Credit Control Consultancy
The problem
You have a finance team in place, but your credit-control process isn't working as well as it should. Debtor days are too high and there's no clear strategy.
The solution
Sterling reviews your current process, identifies the gaps, and helps you build a stronger, more effective credit-control function — strategy, reporting and process improvement.
What Sterling does
Benefits
- A clearer, stronger credit-control process
- Better visibility through proper reporting
- Lower debtor days over time
Suitable for
Businesses with an existing finance team that want to improve how credit control is run.
